Beliefs can be either True or False.
You can try to prove truth or you can choose to believe truth.
Your chosen methodology does not change what IS truth.

Of course it doesn't. But it does impact what you choose to believe. All unfalsifiable claims, being inherently unprovable, are equally (in)valid. And yet, not all of them can be equally true (because in some cases they contradict each other).
My words exactly.
That's where judgement come in.
We can't know everything.
Most things we just believe by considering the source and weighing the evidence.
Behind every belief is enough weighed evidence to tip the scales one way or the other.
Actually, there is awesome evidence.
Again, a matter of judgement.
But there can be no greate "evidence" for one unfalsifiable claim versus another. Thus, "judgement" is irrelevant. There's no basis for judgement to discriminate between alternatives. Each is equally (in)valid excuse.
