Fail passive/operational is more to do with what happens later on the approach, eg for fail operational, a single AP failure when cat 3 Dual below Alert height will still result in an automatic landing. In a fail passive system (cat 3 single shown), this same loss of AP will result in the autoland warning light and a manual go around is required.
