Are you a Mason?

Are you a Mason?

• A. I am not yet joined
• B. Perhaps, if I complete the ritual
• C. I am, so taken and accepted among brothers and fellows
• D. I have only begun the initiation

Answer: (C)

Being a Mason means you have been elected, initiated, and accepted into the fraternity as a member, joining the brotherhood and fellowship of the lodge. The statement that you are “taken and accepted among brothers and fellows” captures that membership status—that you are now part of the fraternity and recognized by the brethren, not just contemplating or starting the process. The other possibilities describe stages before full membership: not yet joined, conditional on completing the ritual, or just having begun initiation. Those indicate-something-happening rather than already being a Mason.
