From the Jewish perspective, if a non-Jew keeps all of the laws entailed in the categories covered by the [[The Seven Laws|Seven Noahide commandments]], then he or she is considered has the halachic status of Ben Noah. If he takes upon himself to observe these laws and live by them in the land of Israel, he becomes a Resident Stranger ''[[Ger Toshav]]'' "foreign resident" amid the people of Israel. In fact, this is considered the ideal level for all humanity by Jewish theology. A ''[[Ger Tzedek]]'' is a person who prefers to proceed to [[religious conversion]]. Judaism does not proselytize, and a procedure that conversion is generally discouraged by all sects of Judaism and allowed comfirmed only after much thought and deliberation over the conversion has taken place. Once accepted, it is irreversible.
The term Noahide is not the name of any specific religion but a term used to describe religions and cultures compliant with the Noahide Laws outside of Israel.
