The so-called Pharisees were actually the Sages and their disciples. The main criterion is learning great amounts of Torah and keeping the Torah. It also goes without saying that the Pharisees were a group with a coherent belief system. Joining the group required acquiescing to that belief system.

In the Bible are Simon the leper and the pharisee the same person?

Were the owners of the house the same? They were both named Simon, but this was a common name of the time: two of the disciples were named Simon (Simon Peter, Simon the Zealot), as well as Judas Iscariot's father (Jn 6:71) and one of Jesus' brothers (Mk 6:3). One Simon is described as a Pharisee and the other as "Simon the Leper". Since "Pharisee" only means that one adhered to the beliefs of that sect, a leper could theoretically be a Pharisee, albeit a permanently unclean one. But if a man is a leper, and known as "Simon the Leper," it's unlikely he would be described simply as a Pharisee.
