Frequentism, according to the posters here. Unless I misunderstand what you mean by thinking of a belief in terms of probabilities.

I looked up "Frequentism" on Wikipedia . . . .I don't understand your point.

What concept am I omitting by characterizing "Bayesianism" the way I did?

Google frequentist instead of frequentism. It's the usual way of doing statistics and working with probabilities.

I did and I still don't understand your point.

Again my question: Exactly what concept am I omitting by characterizing "Bayesianism" the way I did?
