Was Aeneas a believer?

Acts 9:33 (ESV)

33 There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed.

We are not told whether or not Aeneas was a believer. Possibly he was a man who lay by the side of the road, begging alms (see Acts 3:1–10). The fact that Peter goes to visit the believers in Lydda and that his name is explicitly mentioned suggests that he was one of their company (a believer).1
