A nun.
Another answerTechnically, she is called a 'sister'. 'Nun' is a special sort of sister belonging to a particular order. Secular usage has made the two terms seem the same, but within the Church, there is a distinction. All nuns are sisters, but not all sisters are nuns.Officially, she is called a "sister". Nun is a special sort of sister belonging to a cloister, abbey or monastery, as they all belong, not to an order, but to a religious congregation. Maybe "The Nun Story" movie explains the widespread confusion although I believe Audrey Hepburn was a "cloistered nun". They the "Sister Act" film reinforced that duplicity as Whoopy Goldberg wore the habit of a Sister of St. Joseph who lived in a ... nunnery!

What is a Catholic sister called?
Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic sister normally refers to a woman who has taken promises or vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and serves God in different capacities according to the charism of her order. Nuns are also referred to, when speaking, as "Sister" but in that case it is a form of address not what they are. In countries who speak British English, the latter, in the case of a choir nun, is referred to as "Dame" not "Sister".

What is the difference between a Roman Catholic Sister and a Roman Catholic Mother?
.Catholic AnswerFirst off, Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. Second, a "Sister" could be either a form of address for a nun or refer to a religious sister who works out in the world (teaching school, nursing the sick, etc.) A Catholic "Mother" may be referring to the form of address used by Sisters and Nuns for their superior: Reverend Mother, Reverend Mother Superior, Mother, Mother Abbess, etc. In which case she would be a sister or a nun who has been put in a position of authority over the other sisters.
