We first prove that given any analytic filter ℱ on ω the set of all functions f on $2^{ω}$ which can be represented as the pointwise limit relative to ℱ of some sequence $(fₙ)_{n∈ω}$ of continuous functions ($f = lim_{ℱ} fₙ$), is exactly the set of all Borel functions of class ξ for some countable ordinal ξ that we call the rank of ℱ. We discuss several structural properties of this rank. For example, we prove that any free Π⁰₄ filter is of rank 1.
