[LSJ] Pressing Flesh and Unique Allies

"...instead of what it used to be..." is a little vague to me. If I use Pressing Flesh to bring a unique ally back into play, is it no longer unique, or does it's zombie-ness only replace the ally subtype it used to be categorized under? Pressing Flesh Type: Action Requires: Thanatosis +1 stealth action. [thn] Choose an ally that was burned from play. Move that ally from the ash heap to your ready region with this card and life equal to its starting life. This ally is a zombie instead of what it used to be, gets -1 bleed, cannot gain life, and may play cards that require basic Fortitude [for] as a vampire. [THN] As above, but with an additional life.

And what about imbuedness? Breaking it down, where some answers are obvious and some aren't: If I play Pressing Flesh on an Imbued: * Is it a mortal? * Is it an imbued? * Is it a zombie? * Is it a monster? * Does it continue to belong to a Creed? * Can it use Virtues? * Can it use Powers?
