One with faith is tense on a job (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theist

'one with faith' is the definition.
(someone who believes in God)

'tense on a job' is the wordplay.
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'a job' becomes 'heist' (job can mean a robbery or heist).
't'+'heist'='THEIST'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for theist that I've seen before include "Tithes for believer in God" , "Person in good faith" , "Tithes (anag.)" , "Person who believes in the existence of a god" , "Believer in a god or gods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
