Could you please specify which postulate you are referring to?
When a postulate has been proven it becomes a theorem.

Euclid’s Elements
an axiom is a fact/property such as "ac = ca"
The verb "to postulate" means to assert a claim as true, with or without proof. Geometric "postulates" are basic axioms that are given or assumed in order to establish the framework of geometric relationships. An example is Postulate 1 which defines point, line, and distance as unique conditions.

midpoint postulate
A postulate is assumed to be a fact and used to derive conclusions. However, there is no assurance that the postulate is itself true and so all the derived conclusions may depend on a proposition that is not necessarily true. Euclid's fifth, or parallel) postulate in geometry is a notable example.
Reflexive Postulate, or Identity Postulate.
