Involved in a cult that's crazy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lunatic

'crazy' is the definition.
(lunatic can mean crazy or mad)

'involved in a cult' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'in'+'a'+'cult'='inacult'
'inacult' anagrammed gives 'LUNATIC'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lunatic that I've seen before include "Crackers or nuts" , "Madman - idiot" , "Mad" , "Type of fringe" , "nut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Telegraph and The Times.
