She specifically wrote an article in 2006 saying that she believes Catholic judges are morally precluded from enforcing death penalty sentences or carrying out jury recommendations for death penalty sentencing.
Now, this is actually something that I kind of like since I don't like the death penalty, but at the level of the highest court you don't really have the luxury of putting your faith above the law.
If she's written something more recently saying she would recuse herself in cases where her faith contradicts with one of the positions then that would go a long way towards fixing this concern
This is exactly what she has done/stated repeatedly.

“If you’re asking whether I take my faith seriously and I’m a faithful Catholic — I am, although I would stress that my personal church affiliation or my religious belief would not bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge.” — Confirmation hearing in 2017

“Never. It’s never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge’s personal convictions, whether they derive from faith or anywhere else on the law.” — 2017 confirmation hearing.

“I would decide cases according to rule of law, beginning to end, and in the rare circumstance that might ever arise — I can’t imagine one sitting here now — where I felt that I had some conscientious objection to the law, I would recuse. I would never impose my own personal convictions upon the law. — 2017 confirmation hearing.

“A judge may never subvert the law or twist it in any way to match the judge’s convictions from whatever source they derive.” — 2017 confirmation hearing.
Now, she could have told the Senate Judiciary Committee a brazen lie time and time again... but that's something which could be said about any judiciary hearing. She is clearly and unequivocally on the record saying that she would not impose her personal faith onto the law, which indirectly also contradicts the much stronger stance you accused her of having, namely the belief that religion
should trump the law when deciding cases.
