'Agree' as a transitive verb

I was reading C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, and read the sentence "Now if we are agreed about that..." (p.7, HarperOne 2000) I don't know if one can say "we ARE agreed." (This is a case of passiveness, right?) Is there a transitive sense of 'agree' that can be used to mean 'to unified the opinions of two or more people'?

You can say "we are agreed" or "we agree". "We are agreed" isn't very common. The meaning remains unchanged.
