Does this sentence imply that Sarah trusts Thomas now? If I hear someone say 'Sarah does not use to trust Thomas.' in English, I would think that she trusts him now. Not sure about it in French.

Hi Jinn,
I would understand that because of the use of the imparfait that -
Sarah did not trust Thomas at that time
but there's not enough context to know if the situation has changed or not.

From that statement, devoid of context and as it stands now, it is difficult to infer anything about the present.
