Jewish law states that a convert is counted as a Jew and that it is improper to single out converts or hold their conversion against them. There are some opinions in the Talmud that suggest that a convert should not have authority over born Jews, but these do not carry much weight, so today, you can find converts who have become Rabbis and synagogue presidents. It is impossible to convert to become a Cohen or Levite, those are completely hereditary and receive minor synagogue honors to this day.
Yes. Traditional Jewish law makes it clear that it is improper to hold a convert's status as a convert against him or her.

A convert to Judaism is generally considered as a newborn. They are considered to not have any family; including parents, siblings and children. Their past is no longer; a convert is "born" on the day they convert. However, a convert's material possessions (and debts) still belong to them, despite this newbornstatus.
In order for a person to be a Jew they have to either be born to a Jewish woman or convert to Judaism following halacha (Jewish law).
The word you are probably looking for is "convert." It can be used as a noun or a verb: VERB: "He was a Christian but converted to Judaism." NOUN: "A convert is often more zealous in following the religion than someone born into it."
No. Firstly, Judaism allows any non-Jew to convert to Judaism, if they sincerely want to live as a Jew. Secondly, Judaism believes that non-Jews also fulfill their mission in this world by fulfilling the "7 Noahide laws". Lastly, simply been born Jewish is not sufficient - even born-Jews need to follow the Torah and its 613 commandments.
To be a Hasidic Jew, one must be born of a Jewish mother. Hasidic Judaism is a strict orthodox branch of Judaism, so one must be prepared to follow all Jewish law devoutly and study the sacred texts.
No, Christianity was not born out of Judaism. In reality, Christianity is based on the rejection of Judaism. Additionally, Judaism is not something to be fulfilled, it is a way of life given to us Jews as to how we can live righteously. That being said, most Christian denominations have historically taught that Christianity replaces Judaism.
Judaism.
