Wow! Mr. Carrasquer Vidal has always the final word! I would add only that:

a) Zingarelli dictionary has /'krEdo/ for <credo> as a noun referring to the 
Catholic profession of faith etc. (which is labelled as "voce dotta", i.e. 
"learned word"), while it has /'kredere/ for the verb <credere>, which 
implies /'kredo/ for <credo> as a verb (indicative, first singular person: "I 
believe"); anyway I pronounce and I have always heard pronounced /kredo/ 
for both the noun and the verb (I come from Marche region, that is also in 
Central Italy and then follows in most cases the "right" pronunciation of <e> 
and <o>)

b) the great majority of non-Central Italians follow their regional 
pronunciation of <e> and <o>, not only when speaking dialect but also when 
speaking strictly standard Italian
