Jesus had faith in himself, and he was immune to vampires. And the religion he taught was all about having faith in yourself too. He told his apostles that their own faith could move mountains just like his.

20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

Christians don’t need a cross in order to repel vampires. That’s just a crutch. A placebo. Anyone who has faith in themself as Jesus taught can do it.

You could argue their faith needs a focus object as many magic rituals require

Faith doesn’t need focus objects any more than Thor needs a hammer.

Not required to work but easier for the average person to manifest, maybe?

…thus, often in videos or games priests simply pray to repel evil. They brandish their faith, not “lower case t”'s
