Can Aziraphale and Crowley actually become native?
In the final episode of Good Omens, Aziraphale and Crowley are captured by the forces of Heaven and Hell and put on trial for treason.
Both are sentenced to death, Aziraphale by hellfire and Crowley by holy water, but to the surprise of their masters, they are not hurt by these.
Belzeebub even says,
He became native
He is not one of us anymore.
We later see that they had actually switched places, not become native.
What does 'became native' actually mean?
We learned earlier in the season that Crowley was an angel that fell. Can a demon rise up and become an angel? Is that what becoming native means, or that spending too much time on earth means you become native?
Best Answer
Became native to me implies 'not born there, but imbued with the traits of there'... 'there', in this case, being Earth.
They were presumed to have become 'human' to some degree.
There's an old British saying, that someone 'goes native' if they live in a foreign land and develop the characteristics and behaviour patterns of that land, rather than their own.
It's a bit of an old-fashioned idea - the kind of thing you might have heard during the British Raj rather than these days.
The alternative, that they reverted to their actual, true native state, just doesn't fit the plot; only one of them - Crowley - was anything other than his native state of 'angel', so one of them would have died in the execution scenario.

Why did Crowley change his name?
If what Crawly \u2014 the serpent in Eden at his first appearance above, who later changes his name to Crowley because Crawly, he decides, \u201c[is] not him\u201d (vii) \u2014 claims is correct, then he is destined to spend the better part of his earthly existence getting into real trouble.Can Crowley stop time?
Crowley freezes time and Aziraphale and Crowley tell Adam that as the Antichrist he won't be able to fight Satan but he does have control of reality itself and can use that. Crowley restarts time to watch as Satan bursts through the Earth.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
