Doubter, cynic (7)

I believe the answer is:

sceptic

This clue is a double definition.

'doubter' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'cynic' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for sceptic that I've seen before include "Disbeliever" , "Agnostic" , "One who doubts accepted opinions" , "Thomas for one" , "One habitually doubts accepted beliefs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
