The term "lay person" is a derivation from the word "laity" which indicates any member of the faithful who is not in holy orders and does not belong to a religious state approved by the Church. Thus a lay person is any baptized man or woman. If that person enters the priesthood or a religious order then they are no longer a member of the laity, but become either a religious or a cleric. You don't become a lay person, you're born that way.
