Great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wiltThis woman, like the centurion, was not an Israelite. Yet she still sought these blessings. The Lord withstood her at first, not because she was a gentile (I assume), but because of a divine mandate, the will of God did not direct him to do so at first. But in order to make her stronger, she was required to test her faith.
Finally, she acquired a promise from the Lord. and once it was given, she immediately believed; perhaps it wasn't her intent to believe at first, (I do not know) but by the time the Lord responded to her, she was ready to believe - she was prepared to believe. Her diligence strengthened her faith.
