The Priesthood wasn't determined by birth.
I think the clergy or Serf Feudal class was not determined by birth.

Membership of the clergy was not determined by birth (although it would be rare for people from the lower classes to achieve high rank in the church).

the military class
Two things determined your class position in Roman society, your birth and your wealth. Your birth was the most important. If you were born a Patrician, you were always a Patrician, even though you may be impoverished. Wealth played a part in class distinction as a poor person could acquire wealth and raise his position to the Equestrian class and in some cases higher.
Levels of Class
No. A feudal society is when there is a caste system (sort of). It is when there's a small ruling class, a slightly larger upper class of important people, a middle class, and a huge lower class. It is impossible for someone to change classes.
