Trust is related to a specific thing, most of the time. Also does indicate, at least to me, a sens of responsability from the party that is trusted. As in the person is bound by your trust, and can loose it based on his/her/its actions.. Also, in general trust is used in cases where the one trusted has the ability to consciously chang your attitude towards him/her/it.
With faith it is more of a active - passive relationship. Usually the person/thing that you have faith in does not have a conscious awareness of your count on his/her/its actions.
Think about this case:
"I have faith in that Andrew will return the stollen goods..."
"I trust Andrew will return the stollen goods..."
The first case would indicate, at least to me, that Andrew is not aware about your estimation of the probability of him returning the stollen goods.
The second case communicates somehow, that Andrew is aware of your expectation...
But these are just my "feelings" regarding these two words. I might be totally wrong.

Faith is to be believe in something that is not tangible, at least in the religious sense of the word.
Some people have an imaginary friend when they are children, then some grow up and rename him/her 'Jesus' or 'God'.

Trust has to be earned, through a history of reliability.
Faith on the other hand is unquestioning, to the point of irrationality.

Trust can be broken; faith can be forgotten.
