Was the faith of the apostles confirmed in the Transfiguration?

Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah, yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its apparently absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. If the Transfiguration ever happened, this shows that whatever faith the apostles had was not confirmed by this experience. It must be that they were less sure of who the strangers were than is suggested in the gospel story - why the disciples even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.

James and John were brothers and the sons of Zebedee. Scholars speculate that Matthew might have initially had a strained relationship with the other Apostles. Judas experienced a phase of diminished trust after he betrayed Jesus. Peter, James and John formed an inner circle. Only they, of the Apostles, witnessed the Transfiguration. Doubting Thomas' faith manifest itself different than that of others at times. For example, he had to experience Jesus wounds in order to validate his faith. At times there were disagreements between the Apostle Paul and Peter. We have little canonical information about the other Apostles at our disposal.
