Faith prospective usually deals with people assesing religions based on their own faiths- believing in the dogma and structure of the religion. They believe that it is these doctrines that make religion worthwhile. Believing in them, in the faith itself, is what makes it productive.
The Functional prospective deals more with the entire body of the religious sect. A religion can help a person out not because of the doctrines but because of how they make that person feel- as if they arent “alone” in the world. So the functional perspective then allows for just the structure of it to be what makes it productive.

The cited article is the closest I could come to finding an answer. It would seem that the faith prospective is what you believe in about a deity or no deity. Whereas the functional prospect would be what you do with that faith. Are there rituals, laws, does it do good works, bring people together etc. What use do you make of your faith?
