In other words, it is possible to have beliefs held at various degrees of certainty.
It appears you failed to reduce the initial passage.
In addition to google's initial result (to accept as true), I extracted that of the definitions from 38 definition websites, (including standford).
A largely frequent paradigm, 'truth' | true, is compounded in non-beliefism premise-1.
This had long been mentioned amidst the initial passage's sources.
Thusly, it is clear? that belief need not constitute certainty.
HOWEVER, belief is primarily truth bound, on the horizon of truth's PROFOUND presence betwixt belief, and it's synonyms.

Perhaps it is pertinent that you approach premise-ii.
There have been frequent failed attempts to disregard premise-i, however narrow attempts betwixt premise-ii:
I see the word 'true' and 'truth' in the various definitions, but none of them state anything about having ABSOLUTE certainty.
I have plenty of beliefs. None of them I believe with ABSOLUTE certainty.
All of them are open to become disbeliefs, if shown evidence to do so.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
