Theology: The Canons teach that "election is the fountain of every saving good; from which proceed faith" therefore we know that the elect will have faith.
Practice: When someone says that they have faith in Christ we take them at their word, as would a Presbyterian and a Reformed man, and baptise them.
That is what Peter, Paul, Phillip, John etc did.
