I'm totally out as a copy-editor... and an opinionated one, at that! One is not a Reverend, one is THE Reverend (Whatever), or the Right Reverend (Whatever). People use it as a noun all the time, but it's wrong. Oh, for one day as editor of that dictionary... It’s used as a noun, but it’s bad usage.

One is a Reverend, and one might refer to one's local minister in the third person as, "I was talking to the reverend last week...." Of course, the adjectival form is more common, and is the first definition according to M-W.com. But then, I'm a closet copy-editor, as I told somebody else recently. Actually, it is a noun.
