Using 'a' with 'become'
Hi,
He became (a) Muslim, or (a) (Christian),etc.
Would 'Christian' and 'Muslim' still be nouns, even when the indefinite 'a' was not used, or would they become adjectives?
I ask this because I came a cross '... he became king, manager,... etc.'
Thanks.

nsfs2I ask this because I came across '... he became king, manager,..King, manager, president and so on are titles.
They can be used with 'a' to mean the kind of person he became.
He was born a peasant, but he became a king.
They can also be used without the article.
He became a Muslim.
