Whether faith is one virtue?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that faith is not one. For just as faith is a gift of God according to Eph. 2:8, so also wisdom and knowledge are numbered among God's gifts according to Is. 11:2. Now wisdom and knowledge differ in this, that wisdom is about eternal things, and knowledge about temporal things, as Augustine states (De Trin. xii, 14,15). Since, then, faith is about eternal things, and also about some temporal things, it seems that faith is not one virtue, but divided into several parts.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, confession is an act of faith, as stated above (Question [3], Article [1]). Now confession of faith is not one and the same for all: since what we confess as past, the fathers of old confessed as yet to come, as appears from Is. 7:14: "Behold a virgin shall conceive." Therefore faith is not one.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, faith is common to all believers in Christ. But one accident cannot be in many subjects. Therefore all cannot have one faith.
