I read the definition of 信用:

人の言動や物事を間違いないとして，受け入れること

I have looked around a bit and found What does verb+とする mean? but it only covers "dictionary verb form + とする"

This one is after a negative «ない», so I wonder if they are different.

So far I understand the sentence as «to accept the word and «thing» of a person and do so with no doubts».

    This seems closer with a non-dictionary plain form preceding として: [What does として mean here?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11230/43676) – aguijonazo Jan 26 '22 at 17:55

As the comment points out, this is the compound particle として, meaning something like "assume". Here is the entry given by A Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar, page 518:

So here it means something like "to take the speech and conduct or other things as the truth and accept it"
