DefinitionShort: one who is initiated into a religious community of faith (a meaning which reflects the occurrence of τέλειος as a technical term for persons initiated into the mystery religions)
Glosses: initiated
Comments: In a number of languages ‘initiated’ ({S:05000301500006 05100102800036}) may be best expressed as ‘to become a member of’ or ‘to become a believer in.’ It is possible, however, to interpret τέλειος in {S:05000301500006} and {S:05100102800036} as mature spirituality or a state of being spiritually mature (see {D:88.100}).
