I believe the answer is:
neophyte
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">new convert</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for neophyte that I've seen before include "Reformed character" , "Apprentice; newcomer to a religion, job, society, etc..." , "raw recruit" , "Pet honey for a religious novice" , "Recent convert" .)
