Do you remember season 1? when Paulie goes to Chris' apartment when chris has his depression-like state, he tries to comfort Chris saying something like "...spent a couple of years in the army, a few more in the can, and here I am; a half a wise-guy..." Was I mistaken when I originally thought that Paulie was not a made guy?

I know when the Brendan Felone hit took place and chris offered to visit Mikey Palmice's home, Tony said something like Chris wasn't made and Paulie offered his help. But before that, I always thought that Paulie wasn't made due to that remark (half a wiseguy)...am i alone in this?
