Being faithful mean that you always come to the expectations of their faith on you. It is not related to your faith on them. For example a dog is faithful to you, you can have faith on your god that he will try to protect your house when you are not there in the house. And they keep up your faith by protecting the way they can.

It's not about they having faith on you, like you will give him timely to eat something. A cat, rat can also have faith on you that you will give them food but they are not faithful to you.

So in a relationship with your spouse you have faith that you spouse will not make relationship with someone else, then they must come to expectations of your faith on them to be called as faithful to you.

As faithfulness is defined by the personal faith on you whom you are faithful to.

Loyalty is about giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a someone or an institution. These actions of support can be defined by moral parameters defined by society or the institution

I think that loyalty can be more specifically defined, but faith is mostly mutual understanding among the two.
