The question is, is there such a thing as an honorary mason and if so what is it?
None of my 3 jurisdictions CA/IL/TX do honorary Mason status on non-Masons.
Two of them IL/TX allow lodges to vote honorary membership on men who are already Brothers. In Illinois it's called Honorary Member. I'm an Honorary Member at one of my two Illinois lodges. In Texas it's called Life Member (so we change the name of what most jurisdictions call Life Member to Endowed Member). Being an honorary member of a lodge is not what you asked but it could well be confused.
Ronald Reagan was given an honorary 33rd. Did that make him a Mason? No. But that's another status that could easily be confused.
I notice that no one has posted that their jurisdiction does honorary Mason status. I suspect that no regular jurisdiction does but there's no way to check with them all to find out for certain.
Might there be clandestine jurisdictions that do it? I've heard of on-line degree conferral that sounded to me like a degree mill. Someone might believe they are an honorary Mason through such a clandestine jurisdiction. Normally I point out that most clandestine lodges are forces for good in their communities and that most members are not aware of the clandestine status of their lodge. I explicitly exclude any on-line conferral from that. People who get fake college degrees from on line degree mills know it. So does anyone who gets fake renditions of our type of degrees that why.
