In most systems of Christian belief the Church is comprised of two broad areas of function. Firstly we have the hierarchy of the ministry or priesthood who minister to the people of the church who comprise the "Lay Faithful" or laity meaning those members of the Church who are not ordained to the ministry or priesthood.

What do you have to do to become a lay person?

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.
