A band-pass filter is a combination of a low-pass and a high-pass filter.
Hence, this case corresponds to a high-pass filter with a very wide stop band.
It corresponds in the frequency domain to a high-pass filter, which means that high-frequency noise is amplified; differentiation also risks instability.
The stopband of a high-pass filter consists of the frequencies from 0 hertz to a stopband corner frequency (slightly lower than the passband cut-off frequency).
The term "low-pass filter" merely refers to the shape of the filter's response; a high-pass filter could be built that cuts off at a lower frequency than any low-pass filter—it is their responses that set them apart.
This high-pass filter has a slope of 18 dB per octave.
