There are 247 occurrences of the word "Faith" in the bible (I was searching KJV).
I couldn't find a reference to a corrupt variation of faith (a polluted faith, a deviant faith, an errant faith, another faith, etc). It led me to conclude that "Faith" itself cannot be corrupted...only the understanding we have of what faith actually is or isn't.

Please share if you see something I didn't.
Also, I only looked at the occurrences where the original word was translated into English as "faith". Feel free to point out locations where the original word was translated as some other English word.

Love in Jesus,

The closest things I saw to a possibility of corruption were:
- "That which is lacking in your faith" (which sounds more to me like a shortage of, in a particular area) 1Th_3:10
- Faith being vain (only if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead) 1 Corinthians_15:14, :17
- Faith being dead (only if separating works from faith) James_2:17, :20, :26
