yes, belief and faith are basically synonyms.
dunno why thats any less useful than your twisted interpretation of it. there are tons of words in english that have equivalent synonyms, that doesnt make them useless. nor can chrstianity redefine it as they like. if their criteria for entrance to heaven is belief in the resurrection, then by definition jesus cant get it.
if the criteria is something else, thats a different story.
Your definition of belief isn't how most people use the word, so just be aware you're going to have this problem with more people than just me.
You can define words however you want, the important thing is that the message isn't lost. In the case of "if Jesus can go to heaven" he's exempted from their rules on how to go to heaven since, ya know, he is God incarnate and is the one who actually decides. Even if that wasn't the case if by "belief" they mean "think its true", then he's covered. And since they do, he is.
