I'd call it either circular logic, or a non-sequitur, since it does not follow that having "faith that transforms your heart" is somehow different than "believing in all of the right things". In theory, belief and faith tend to be basically the same thing, although they both need to be understood in practice and not as abstract concepts.

I might also say it's self-refuting, although I'm not certain what fallacy that would fall under.
