İ m confused between this two terms. Both of them false belief about fear of harm from something or someone. So what is exactly separating these two terms?
Well a delusion of persecution is classified as a paranoid delusion
You can be paranoid about things other than persecution though like you can be paranoid about your health or the world ending for example

So paranoia has subject but delusion of persecution has no subject. For example
They going to kill me - paranoia
İ m going to die - delusion of persecution?
No a delusion of persecution means you think someone or something is out to get you. Paranoia is like being very afraid of something or very suspicious.
You got it backwards in your example there.
