It depends on which neutrality one is referring to.
Regarding ions: an atom in its "normal" state, it has the same amount of electrons as protons and is electrically neutral. In case of electron(s) moving to make a "full electron shell", charge changes to positive or negative, thus non-neutral, and called ion instead.
