Trespassing is a different crime. It's a bother to have a stranger enter your property uninvited. It's a huge invasion to have a stranger enter your house uninvited. The former may be trespassing. The latter is likely breaking and entering (or burglary or some similar law).
You could try to change the names, but it honestly doesn't matter. Many people also don't know the difference between assault and battery. No one really thinks it's okay to threaten others with physical violence even if no blows are dealt, though. Similarly, no one really thinks it's acceptable to enter someone's home without permission even without literally "breaking in". The laws around these are generally reasonable even if the legal names aren't exactly what people expect.
