For example : A potion of shield of faith would take 2.5 days and 25 GP ? A potion of Prayer of Healing would be level 2 , so the same? A potion of Spirit Guardians? Guardian of Faith? What spell level equates to rarity? I could guess but was hoping to find an answer, and as I can't - help ! :)
Potions are not meant to offer s single template for consumable items of all spells- as noted above that's covered by spell scrolls. Potion are much more case-by-case which ones exist and at what rarity, in part because they typically provide a stronger effect of giving you the effect of a spell to any user without prerequisite conditions or some of the limitations of spellcasting.
If you're a player, then you can ask a DM about brewing custom potions for a particular spell but it's a fair call for them to not go for it. If you're the DM, I'd advise being a bit mindful of what potions you give out/allow, since potions potentially allow for the stacking of several buffs that would typically be restricted by concentration.
Usually no, but depending on the specific potion maybe yes.
From the DMG:
[...] The spell uses its normal casting time, range, and duration, and the user of the item must concentrate if the spell requires Concentration. Many items, such as Potions, bypass the casting of a spell and confer the spell’s effects with its usual duration. [...]
So as I understand it , non base healing potions cost as per the table https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmg-2024/treasure#TimeandCost and halved as the potion is a consumable. So , what level of spell equates to each rarity bracket ?
For example : A potion of shield of faith would take 2.5 days and 25 GP ?
A potion of Prayer of Healing would be level 2 , so the same? A potion of Spirit Guardians? Guardian of Faith?

Not sure if I understand the question, but personally, I'm using the Spell Scroll table to determine the Rarity of a Spell Level:
I recalled this table from the 2014 DMG:
Magic Item Power by Rarity
Thats a solution I missed - and exactly the answer I needed, thank you !
Nice :) You're always welcome!

wouldnt the drinker of a potion have to concentrate if the spell is concentration ?
Usually no, but depending on the specific potion maybe yes.
From the DMG:
Also, some potions in the DMG say that they do not require Concentration.
