Credence/credit

I don't give credit/credence to any words you say.

Are both credit and credence acceptable above? The only difference is that credence is more formal than credit.

Thank you.

I think that these are the ways those words (meaning believe, trust) are used: I don't give credence to any words you say. I don't credit any words you say. 'Give credit to' means acknowledge for a success.
