What's confused about it? There really isn't much difference between Fate and Determinism; They do have one vital difference. Fate requires some omnipotence to have the ability, the power and the inclination to pre-ordain events so as to lead to some goal.
Now since I'm in no position to convince you of the existance (or lack) of The Almighty, I think it's reasonable to assume that the terms fate and determinism can be used to describe the same thing from two opposing viewpoints.
What other differences are there? (And please don't bring The Matrix into it, it's condescending)
