"A made man" means a full fledged member of the mafia, a member of the family. He can be a soldier or a capo

No, that is someone who is inducted into the Mafia. They have to hold burning paper between their hands and say in Italian something like "if I betray the family, may I burn like this paper." You usually have to kill someone like I did, and then you're in for life.

A made man is someone who has been inducted into Cosa Nostra (The Mafia).
