Galatians warns of anyone who preaches or teaches another Jesus other than the one we have heard. Regardless of whether or not that was the intent it demonstrates the danger involved in going outside of the NT language as Ohio has pointed out.
When you say "became" everyone familiar with the fellowship of the apostles will be familiar with this. When you say "processed" you bring in your own term, leaving the fellowship of the apostles, with implied meanings that have the potential to lead astray.

Right. I think the best example I can come up with is a caterpillar. A caterpillar becomes a butterfly. It goes through a process to become a butterfly.
We don't say the caterpillar was processed, and it is not "a processed and consummated butterfly".
I think an additional component of my clang is that "processed" is a word that is typically applied to a dead or inanimate object. Where else do you hear the word "processed" (in that grammatical form) as applied to a human or any living creature?
