It seems to me that logic is a test for truth. But we can know truth in various ways, sometimes beyond expression. In each of the faculties, I would think, man can know truth, and sometimes before he knows the logic behind it. But then, it is also true that a more basic logic applies. Namely, before I know God exists through the exercise of reason, I have already known of His existence because of experience (having met Him via the Holy Spirit), which logic is that to know follows from having sensed; it would be illogical to have been in contact with God ( the Holy Spirit ) and to not then know Him. But the reason involved is so basic that we usually do not call that reasoning, as reasoning implies greater mental effort than mere reaction. So its logical, but we are not necessarily exercising it overtly.

Once man has made his reasoning, he then judges of the reasons. But before he reasons he observes the axioms on which reason is built. Here are three categories of the faculty: to observe, to reason, and to use judgment. Truth is intrinsically part of all three.
