That's fair if you don't want to make that distinction but it is common vernacular and each testing layer has a set of properties which lead to separate pros and cons. The discussion then becomes, "what are the advantages/disadvantages of testing in isolation versus testing integrated components" which is a well trodden topic. In a previous comment you mentioned that you get huge efficiency gains testing everything together. Well, during writing you could make that argument (though I would consider that contentious) but when it comes to maintenance and refactoring, I would argue having "the test" is going to result in a much larger surface area for you to debug when you change something and "the test" breaks.
