Pig Bajie is the messenger of the net altar. Is the messenger a bodhisattva?

It is the messenger of the Tathagata.

The net talk messenger is the title of Zhu Bajie after he came back from the West in Journey to the West. After the Buddhist scriptures are completed, Tathagata will make Zhu Bajie your official position. Because of his generosity in eating intestines and enjoying the incense in all directions, he was named the messenger of the net altar. Pig Bajie was named Tathagata as the net altar messenger because of "eating". It is a tribute to the management of the Tathagata, which should be equivalent to the current treasury administrator and so on.

The origin of the name

The net talk messenger is just a name that the author came up with. We all know that there are things like melon and fruit sacrifices in temples. These things are for the gods they worship, such as Master Guanyin, and the table is dedicated to Master Guanyin. In fact, we can see a detail in The Journey to the West. When Tang Priest and his disciples arrived in Fengxian County, they found that it hadn't rained for many years, and the Monkey King asked for help. It turned out that the Jade Emperor built Mianshan and Mi Mountain in the sky, and there were iron locks baked by kerosene lamps, saying that only dogs licked Mianshan and chickens pecked Mi Mountain. When the kerosene lamp baked the iron lock, it rained in Fengxian county

As we all know, the Jade Emperor did this because he saw the princess of Fengxian offering sacrifices to him. He wanted to eat the offering, but the princess knocked over the altar, which made the jade emperor very angry. We all know the consequences. What I said above is actually to tell you that there are so many places to worship gods that they can't all enjoy them, so they need a so-called "god" to clean these offerings, and Pig Bajie is a guy who can eat very much, so they let him do the job.
