That Includes the Knights of the Cross themselves, like when Kelly Hamilton, a Red Court vampire, touches Michael in Grave Peril, she gets burned. In Blood Rites, Harry says that his mother's pentacle represents the five forces of the universe—air, fire, water, earth, spirit energy—in a pattern of order contained within a circle of human thought and human will. He believes his magic is the force of life, of good, something meant to protect and preserve. That was belief enough to tap into the vast power of faith. It is important to note that objects of faith do not necessarily have to be of Christian origin e.g. crosses and crucifixes. Any symbol which represents an individual's spiritual beliefs or ideals has power. Harry believes in the power of magic - the four elements controlled by the human spirit, represented by the pentacle - and thus his necklace is an object of faith.
