I don't think so. Its an attitude to take to truth claims that matter. Don't often have to use it.
I don't think so. We can label someone 'faithful' if this is the predominant attitude they take to positions they hold.

I wld consider someone a sceptic if when they take a position on a truth claim, its one they arrived at sceptically - thru evidence

I don't think we need to require someone to have investigated every truth claim sceptically to be a sceptic.

Any more than we'd need someone to have faith in every god or spiritual belief to be a person of faith.

Very much the approach you take to determining whether something is true, regardless of how many things you hold to be true/untrue.
-
But earlier you said you get to determine who the sceptics were. Couldn't you and they just have different priorities?

I don't know what you mean. They either make their truth claims based on evidence or not.
