Only Noahites who have taken measures to join the Hebrew nation are considered to be believers.
=هاجرن=
Hagar is the epithet given to Keturah which was changed in an attempt to distinguish the two by the Karaites around 1000 years ago when they inserted the Nikudot into the Masoretic text. Hence '''Ha-Garim''' or '''Ha-Gerim''' or ''' Ha-Geirim''' meaning '''The Gers''' or '''The Pilgrims''' or '''The Migrants''' or Hagarim are also sometimes referred to as '''Keturahites''' though no physical descent from Keturah is implied. One group of Hagarim were called '''Ishmaelites'''.
=مؤمنون=
'''חסידי אומות העולם''' Pious ones of the nations, i.e. Godfearers. Compare with [[Tzadikei Umos HaOlam]] and [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam]].
==Maimonides says not applicable today==
Maimonides held that a Ger Toshav (Resident Alien) is a legal category of "Noahide" (i.e. a Righteous Gentile) which is not applicable during the times of Jewish exile.
:"One who accepts these [basic laws] is called: Ger Toshav in every place. It is necessary to receive him in front of three Torah Scholars." (Melachim 8:10)
and againBut he also states that this category is not applicable during the times of Jewish exile:
:"And if he accepted upon himself the seven mitzvos, then he is a ger toshav, but we do not accept gerei toshav except when the Jubilee is observed, but when there is no Jubilee we accept only righteous." (Avodah Zara 10:6)
