Faith leaves room for doubt. Unlike with actions, the results of faith are hidden.
Actions are obvious; results guaranteed even if not always wanted.
Actions that never stray from the right path guarantee one never walks, talks, or acts out the wrong path.

The actions of Saints are seen. Their faith is not. Those truly aligned with the Divine (graced) do not need to follow the rules because they become the rules; their minds and actions never stray from the Godly way.
