What do you think the word "credence" means? I am thinking that perhaps that is the cause of your problems.
I'm treating credence for heads as her confidence in heads, as expressed as a number between 0 and 1 (inclusive), given everything she knows at the time. I see it as the same things as a posterior probability.
I don't think disagreement is due to different uses of the word credence. It appears to me that we are all talking about the same thing.
