A true believer

Actually the term "true believer" has a specific definition; this is not a particularly good definition, but it's all I saw from web search:
"true believer
NOUN: One who is deeply, sometimes fanatically devoted to a cause, organization, or person: â€œa band of true believers bonded together against all those who did not agree with themâ€ (Theodore Draper). "
http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entries/71/t0387100.html
It would probably better to define it as 1) One who deeply believes in a faith. 2) One who is fanatically devoted to a cause, organization, or person; a zealot.

Bowser was using the meaning of the second definition.
