I'd have said that what you are referring to is perseverance (if I remember correctly that is supposedly the trait of the purple soul) as determination (at least one of the definitions for it) is the quality of being resolute; firmness of purpose -to have a fixed purpose or intention (ring any bells about the routes?) whereas perseverance is the persistance in a course of action, purpose, state etc especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles or discouragment.

So you need determination to have perseverance but you don't need perseverance to be determined.
