convert

A person who has adopted a new belief, religion, or way of life, often after having previously followed a different one. This term emphasizes the act of changing one's fundamental adherence or perspective. While 'convertido' exists in Spanish and is used for religious converts, the broader sense of changing one's alignment to a system, idea, or lifestyle without a religious connotation is less precisely captured by a single word, sometimes requiring descriptive phrases such as 'alguien que ha sido transferido a un nuevo concepto o sistema'.
