Hey dopp, can you read Greek?
I looked up the usage of pistis in the NT and Greek literature and it means 'to trust,' 'to rely on,' and to 'believe.' Its verbal form means "to regard as credible, true." Also "faithfulness" and "trusting."
The explanation is technical and several pages long. I can scan it next week for you if you're interested.
