A religious vocation involves a commitment to serve a higher power or spiritual calling within a religious institution, often through vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. In contrast, a secular vocation typically refers to a career or occupation that does not have a religious or spiritual focus and may be pursued in a non-religious setting.
I'm unsure as to how this specifically might relate to a religious question, but "vocation" is basically another word for "career" or "job." So, anyone who has ever had a job could be said to have had a "vocation." In the Catholic church "vocation" also refers to those who take a religious life - monks and nuns. Such a life is said to be their calling.

An ordained vocation typically refers to a calling to religious ministry or service within a specific faith tradition. It involves receiving official recognition, such as being ordained as a priest, minister, rabbi, or cleric, to carry out specific religious duties and responsibilities within a religious community.
A vocation is a calling. This word can also be interpreted as a career. In both ways this can be used to refer to a religious life. if one feels compelled or "called" to devote their life or work to religious affiliated work then they fulfill the first definition of vocation. If they do so for financial reason alone it fulfills the second definition. Usually the first definition is the main reason for a religious life. The second plays a small part amongst many in decision making.

Vocation plays a significant role in the religious beliefs and practices of individuals as it is often seen as a calling from a higher power to serve a specific purpose or role in society. Many religions emphasize the importance of finding and fulfilling one's vocation as a way to honor and serve their faith. This can manifest in various ways, such as through religious leadership, charitable work, or living a life guided by moral and ethical principles. Ultimately, vocation is viewed as a way to live out one's faith and contribute to the greater good.
