I agree with that and will change the translation.

"Bien que" must be followed by a subjunctive, and the present tense in
the subjunctive mode is "pensions" for "penser".
Though I agree it can be misunderstood, since we're more used to the
indicative mode. I'll try to find an equivalent.

> 3) “confiant dans les bénéfices” : confiant pour.

I can't see how "pour" would be better than "dans" in that phrase.
Actually I'm not really satisfied with "confiant dans les bénéfices"
either, but I don't think that "confiant pour les bénéfices" would be
better.
