I don't think everyone is getting mixed up.
I think folks are just asking for clarification on the latest changes and how they may impact their planning for future ILR and Naturalisation applications.

No jamesy, that's not correct.
ILR is Indefinite Leave to Remain. Also known as settlement or settled status.
Provided the holder does not leave UK for 2 years. or more. In which case the ILR is no longer valid.

ILR is not Naturalisation.
Naturalisation the process of applying for and securing British Citizenship.

Don't forget there are very strict rules on when you may or may not apply for ILR or Naturalisation.
Often folks also need some clarification on the differences between eligibility for application and the expiry of their individual visa.

Then there is the additional complication of whether existing English Language test results already meet the new B1 requirement already or not. Plus whether the English Language test certificate is still valid or not.

So it's easy to see why folks may need clarification.

Hope that clarifies.
