believers
Those who trust
Believers are people who hold a particular belief, especially religious faith.
The word often appears without specifying what's believed, implying faith in God or a spiritual framework: She's a believer.
In broader use, believers are those convinced of something's value or truth: I'm a believer in second chances.
The word carries positive connotations of conviction and commitment.
