Anyone, including The Church, can claim infallibility on anything though... it doesn't make it so.
Without evidence it's just "I'm sure I'm right about this!". And anyone can do that... and to be honest if anyone feels the need to do that I think that that just gives me an extra reason to doubt and be suspicious. Who needs to do that unless they haven't got actual facts and evidence and they're just trying to convince themselves and/or others of something that they want to believe and hope to believe but perhaps don't deep down believe it's really as real as they claim it is?
I think this is more about belief in belief itself and belief that professing belief is a good thing, and good for the world... than it's about actually believing in the existence of anything that corresponds to actual reality... and I don't mean corresponding to "reality" in practical, pragmatic terms to help one live one's life... but I mean corresponding to reality in terms of anything that actually corresponds to actual objective existence.
