Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” with a dollop of "free will".

Also I will add something that defines Faith and Faithfulness:

Is Faith and faithfulness related?

Yes, faithfulness is directly related to faith, where faith is belief and confidence, and faithfulness is the action of living in accordance with that belief. Faith is the conviction that can lead to faithfulness, which is the outward demonstration of that inner belief through obedience, loyalty, and consistent action.

Google search is faith related to faithfulness

So both are true and fruit of the Spirit,

Gill writes and I agree on Gal 5:22 and faith

faith; for though fidelity, both in words and actions, which is very ornamental to the Gospel, and a profession of religion may be meant; yet faith in Christ is not to be excluded, as it is generally by interpreters; for this is not of a man's self, nor have all men it: it is a gift of God, the operation of his power, and the work of his Spirit, whence he is styled the spirit of faith; and which therefore must have a place among his fruits; and which lies and shows itself in believing in Christ for salvation, in embracing the doctrines of the Gospel, and making a profession of them, which is called the profession of faith; all which, when right, comes from the Spirit of God.
