Confidence and effort
According to the thesis of confidence and effort (I know you don’t hold it, but I would be happy if you could still answer me according to their method),
Virtues, blessings, and all the other things of that kind –
Do we fall into the category of effort or confidence?
(On the one hand, this is not complete confidence because a factor other than God is involved here, and on the other hand, it is also not an effort because I do rely on Kabbalah here in a certain sense)

I don't understand why this is just semantics. It's about the concepts of confidence and effort. Is virtue effort or confidence? This is strictly a conceptual analysis, isn't it?
This is not a conceptual analysis, but simply a definition. This question has no meaning. If you define security this way, it will be security, and if you define security differently, it will be effort. Why is this interesting?
Note that the analysis was already done in the question. He suggested two definitions there and the result is different according to each of them. So what am I supposed to add? To say which of the two definitions is correct? There is a dictionary for that.
I actually think that the question about the operation of virtues does have significance (and some implications emerge from this regarding the obligation of effort).
For the sake of example, it is just like conducting an investigation into what is required in the law of damage to evidence - there too there are two options for defining two definitions and the result is different according to each of them. In this case, I will not go to the dictionary but will check with the explanation which is more correct and maybe I will also try to compare to all sorts of cases
But in any case, since I am asking a method that does define confidence and effort precisely, the rabbi is really not the appropriate address for this question
Thank you very much
You are not asking about the definition of concepts, but rather what is permitted and what is prohibited. You should ask that of those who think that there is permitted and prohibited with confidence and effort.
