Huh? This is yet again one of my grammar miracles. That should be:
It takes 13 pages before Donald is convinced that he faces a real
witch. On page 7, he seems to think he's just facing a rubber nosed
trick or treater.

Here's an overview:
Page 6 to 7 - Donald thinks he has another kid at his door, instead
of Witch Hazel. There's no opinion on the existance of witches.
Page 8 to 10 - Preparations are done to SCARE Donald.
Page 11 - Donald thinks he got those "trick or treaters" scared off.
Again, no opinion on the existance of witches.
Page 12 - Donald wonders what the blazes is going on outside. He doesn't
believe his eyes, but again there are no statements about witches.
Panel 13.7 - Donald concludes "WITCHCRAFT! That's what it is!"
Panel 14.3 - Donald: "D-do I dare to open [the door]? It's like a
nightmare come true!"
Panel 14.6 - Donald: "Oh, my goodness! Ghosts! Goblins! I don't
understand!" (He doesn't understand, but no statements about witches.)
Panel 15.2 - Donald is offended by being called a "pushover".
Panel 15.3 - Donald: "Those ghosts and goblins were only FAKES!"
Panel 15.4 - Donald: "I should have known you were only trying to
SCARE me!"
Panel 15.7 - Donald: "It takes more than a WITCH to get candy from
Donald Duck!"
