believer
One who trusts
A believer is someone who accepts something as true, especially religious faith: She's a devout believer, He's not a believer.
Without qualification, believer usually implies religious conviction.
But it extends to any committed adherent: a true believer in free markets, I'm a believer in getting enough sleep.
The phrase make a believer out of someone means to convince a skeptic through demonstration.
