It is referring to apostasy - a lost person who knowingly rejects the truth, not a saved person who became unsaved. "The faith" is the body of doctrines that the NT believer clings to. The Bible prophecies a time of apostasy prior to Christ's return. Our society overall is departing from the faith. More and more religious people, but less true believers.
