There’s an important destination here when talking about Westminster style systems. If a government were unable to secure enough votes for a budget, constitutionally this is the same as a confidence vote. The government would be dissolved and a new government would be formed either by a different coalition or a general election. A budget is sometimes called a supply bill. When people talk about confidence and supply, that’s what they mean.
