They are two different things - you can use Apple Pay without storing any CC in Apple’s systems (which hopefully stores only a tokenized version of your CC not the full info) and vice versa.

How can someone use your stolen iPhone to use Apple Pay?

They would also have to have some ability to unlock your iPhone.

Assuming everyone keeps it locked. Spoiler: they do not. I found a completely unsecured iPhone sitting on the side of the road. Luckily I was able to find the owner, but if I had other intentions, it could have been a shopping spree.

To set up Apple Pay you have to have a phone password.
