Most pregnancy tests say that even a faint line confirms pregnancy.

A pregnancy test checks for how much hCG (a pregnancy hormone) is in your system - usually detectable 6-12 days after fertilisation. A test taken before your period is due might not show any hCG, even if you're pregnant, because it's too soon. Similarly, your hCG levels might still be low when you take a test - but any hCG says you're pregnant. (The exception is if you're having hCG injections to help you conceive.) So a faint line means the levels are there, but low. HOWEVER: you can also get "evaporation lines". That happens if you check the test after the 3-5 minute period advised (or whatever the manufacturer says) or if you use a test that's past its best-by date. If neither of these are the case, you're probably pregnant.

If you want confirmation, wait a couple of days and take another test, or visit a clinic which might have more sensitive tests available.

What does one faint blue line and a dark line mean on a clear blue pregnancy test?

If you see two lines, regardless of how light or dark, it means there are hormones in your body that are present during pregnancy. It's very unlikely to have false positives with pregnancy tests, but if you think it's wrong, you should probably make an appt with your doctor as they can give you a more accurate answer. Otherwise, congratulations on your pregnancy!
