their are no terms as you put it to achieve enlightenment in the Buddhist faith. To achieve enlightenment as I see it and as far as I know is the same teachings of different Buddhist faiths/beliefs, is to understand what causes the suffering of man which is attachment, to be able to love everyone and everything for who and what they are no matter the emotions they may stir in your mind. to have complete calmness of the mind when meditating and even when interacting with a person or a object, animal etc... and last but not least, to be able to love everyone and everything no matter the emotion stirred inside you, and not have an attachment to the object, person, thing, situation, etc. Buddhism is hard to understand, even the monks of today will gladly admit they do not know it all, because they have themselves not achieved enlightenment, but they will tell you that they look forward everyday to understand their surrounding, texts, people, and situations they are placed in so that they may achieve enlightenment.
this is just my understanding as a self taught and practicing Buddhist. if you have questions like this and you feel that my answer didnt answer all your questions, please turn to your local Buddhist temple and monks there. Monks have far more knowledge of things than most layman's and they would welcome you and your questions with arms open to guide you the best they can.
