Hello.

Do "face" and "faith" sound equally?

They sound equally for me.

Thanks.
 
Not to me.
 
They are different sounds for all native speakers, though a tiny minority produce /θ/ instead of /s/ because of a lisp.
 
I can record how I pronounce them and show you.

If you want to do that, I'll happily listen to the sound file. However, the final sound of one is "s/ss" and the other is an unvoiced "th". Unless you have a lisp, the words should not sound the same. (Note that we don't say "they sound equally").
