>Being that survives from the faith or fear from humans
If they survive from the fear of humans they're a youkai. Faith = gods, fear = youkai.

Nope, Kanako explains this in Symposium of Post-mysticism. A god that only gets fear will become a youkai, but theoretically a youkai that gets enough faith will become a god. Faith in general is a bit more high maintenance than fear, humans fearing a lot of youkai is good and sustainable and pretty easy to keep up but there's only so many humans to give faith to so many things. If every youkai became a god not everyone would get enough faith to sustain themselves, and would probably revert back to being a youkai if the same logic of the Arahitogami applies.
