If a Catholic dies in Mortal sin and Goes to Hell - does he have Faith?

Lucifer believed all that God revealed but had no charity, at all.

 God bestows faith, so if a man dies in mortal sin, although he may have knowledge and even understanding , there can be no Faith as the man was separated from God by his sin.
 Faith is a gift from God.

No, because now that he sees Eternity for himself, there is no more need for faith. Faith is believing what we can't see. The same holds true for those who are saved. Faith is no longer necessary because he is in eternity and sees.

Are there any statements by Saint Thomas Aquinas or Saint Augustine of Hippo on this matter? That is, that if a "Catholic" died in Mortal Sin - would he have Faith in Hell or does is that Faith extinguished? Please any docuмentation by the Church not opinion, thanks again.
