overtrusting
Excessively faith-filled
Overtrusting means placing more trust in someone or something than circumstances warrant.
An overtrusting person takes others at their word too readily, ignores warning signs, or fails to verify claims that deserve scrutiny: She was overtrusting with her financial information.
The word implies naivety or poor judgment rather than virtue.
