The linen cloth cast about his naked body shows he had some faith but it wasn 't strong as it was loosely covering him. Nakedness represent no faith.

Jacques Haddad's comment on 2013-02-19 07:59:42:

In Mark 14:51, the young man was John Marc (Mary Marcus' son, St. Mark the Evangelist himself). The proof is that he is the only one to mention this incident without revealing his name. It is a writer's custom, like in John's Gospel, he wrote the beloved disciple about himself (the other disciple). Also in Luke, he did not mention that he, himself was with Cleophas and Jesus walking on the road to Emmaus.
