How do you say the word believer in Latin?
The term used in Christian Latin is credens, which is the present participle of the verb credere, "to believe". It means literally "believing [person]". In the plural (credentes) it's the equivalent of the English collective noun "the faithful".
There is also the word acceptor, literally "one who receives" but used, at least in pre-Classical times (e.g., by the playwright Titus Macchius Plautus), to mean "one who accepts [something] as true". This word does not have specifically religious connotations. However, it may be worth noting that acceptor suffered a change in Christian Latin, where it came to mean "one who favors [someone] unjustly".

What are some Latin question words?
There are three ways to form a yes/no question in Latin. The most straightforward way is to attach the enclitic particle -ne to the first word (usually) of the sentence:
- Caesar Gallos vicit - Caesar defeated the Gauls.
- Caesarne Gallos vicit - Did Caesar defeat the Gauls?
If a "yes" answer is expected, the word nonne is added to the beginning of the sentence (this is actually another instance of the enclitic -ne, except that here it is added to the negative particle non):
- Nonne Caesar Gallos vicit - Caesar defeated the Gauls, didn't he?
If a "no" answer is expected, the word num is added to the beginning of the sentence:
- Num Galli Caesarem vicerunt - The Gauls didn't defeat Caesar, did they?
Either/or questions are formed by using the introductory particle utrum or the enclitic -ne with one of the conjunctions an, anne, "or", or annon, necne, "or not":
- utrum Caesar vicit, an Galli - Did Caesar win, or the Gauls?
- Caesarne an Galli vicerunt - Did Caesar or the Gauls win?
Other types of questions begin with an interrogative pronoun, adjective or adverb:
- quando - when?
- quantus, -a, -um - how much/how many?
- qualis, quale - what type of?
- qui - how? in what way?
- qui, quae, quod - what type of?
- quis, quid - who/whom/what?
- quo - where [destination]?
- quoad - how far?
