Lana, it is of course not the case that a British Citizen needs to hold a passport to confirm they are British. So in your case, as soon as you have sworn the oath or affirmed, and then been handed your Naturalisation Certificate, you will be British, and therefore also an EU Citizen.
In fact, from that point in time, it does not take long to actually get a British passport ... but you would be well advised to submit the application over the counter at a Post Office, and pay the Post Office checking fee, rather than posting the application direct to the Passport Agency. The Passport Agency deal much more quickly with applications submitted via their "High Street partners".
