Question
Are Healing faith and Saving faith are same or different type?  

Answer
You ask a very broad question.  The same word is used for both, "pistis".  There is no obvious distinction in meaning when it is used for "salvation" and healing.  In fact, sometimes the healing is called being "saved" (sozo) (e.g. Luke 18:42).
However, it is always possible to make a theological division between the two.  I just don't think it is a useful distinction.
I hope this is helpful,
