I am beginning to wonder if Levi is in Jesus's house because he followed Jesus perhaps to his home (or rather Peter's house) and perhaps Levi is serving as cook at Peter's home?
I believe that Levi Strauss was Jewish, so he would not have believed in Our Lord Jesus, but, probably believed in God, though.
Saint Matthew's real name was Levi before he became one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
The Apostle Matthew, also known as Levi, was from the tribe of Levi. He was a tax collector before becoming one of the twelve disciples of Jesus.
Yes he was as chronicled in Luke 3:24,29.

Elizabeth was descended from Aaron, of the tribe of Levi.
Levi's name was changed to Matthew when he became a disciple of Jesus. He went on to become one of the twelve apostles and author of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
Matthew was likely called Levi before becoming a disciple of Jesus because Levi is his original given name. When he was called by Jesus to follow him, his name was changed to Matthew, which means "gift of God." This change in name symbolizes his transformation and new identity as a follower of Jesus.
Jesus Christ, the great motivator of hearts and sensitizer of consciences, was able to move people to change. Having been a tax collector, Matthew, who was also known as Levi, was well acquainted with the burden the people were carrying. (Matthew 9:9; Mark 2:14) As a result he was moved to give up his former life-style. (Matthew 4:17; 9:9-13)
