What would it mean to trust or believe in a theory? What finishing line in our minds does it cross beyond which we accept it as proven or regard it as confirmed

What would it mean to trust or believe in a theory? What finishing line in our minds does it cross beyond which we accept it as proven or regard it as confirmed?
I don't think there is one. We are fallible and even our best theories are tentative and provisional. When we do rely on ideas it only because we know no better alternatives.
