Faith is a theorem, although it may be based on false premises.

I think faith is where you are at for that particular time.. We all believe and we all have hope, but believing in something is not the same as hoping that it happens... It depends upon what you want to use your faith for... If you are using it as a positive thing because it gives you peace, that would probably be a theorem... If you are using your faith as a sounding board or to justify or hide behind, I think that would be a premise... Sincerity and intention is the defining factor here...

We must have faith in premises (axioms) in order for a theorem to work.

if I think I'll do good, then when that thought dissipates, I need faith in order to remember and hold to my belief.
In theory a faith can be used on any premise.

Faith is a "substance" that is real and that works

It's make-believe given another name to make it sound impressive.

I think it's more of an irony.
