user23867: I recall reading a text where Buddha addressed a supposed monk saying "householder".
If i recall correctly, the monk said that he wasn't a householder and Buddha explained the meaning of that.
I am pretty sure it's in the pali canon and am looking for the text.
Thanks

user23867: I've found it, mn54. Remembered it wrong.

Potaliya the householder, while
walking and wandering for exercise, wearing full dress with parasol
and sandals, also went to the grove, and having entered the grove, he
went to the Blessed One and exchanged greetings with him. When this
courteous and amiable talk was finished, he stood at one side. The
Blessed One said to him: “There are seats, householder, sit down if
you like.”
When this was said, the householder Potaliya thought: “The recluse
Gotama addresses me as ‘householder,’” and angry and displeased, he
remained silent.
A second time the Blessed One said to him: “There are seats,
householder, sit down if you like.” And a second time the householder
Potaliya thought: “The recluse Gotama addresses me as ‘householder,’”
and angry and displeased, he remained silent.
A third time the Blessed One said to him: “There are seats,
householder, sit down if you like.” When this was said, the
householder Potaliya thought: “The recluse Gotama addresses me as
‘householder,’” and angry and displeased, he said to the Blessed One:
“Master Gotama, it is neither fitting nor proper that you address me
as ‘householder.’”
“Householder, you have the aspects, marks, and signs of a
householder.”
“Nevertheless, Master Gotama, I have given up all my works and cut off
all my affairs.”
“In what way, householder, have you given up all your works and cut
off all your affairs?”
“Master Gotama, I have given all my wealth, grain, silver, and gold to
my children as their inheritance. I do not advise or blame them about
such matters but merely live on food and clothing. That is how I have
given up all my works and cut off all my affairs.”
“Householder, the cutting off of affairs as you describe it is one
thing, but in the Noble One’s Discipline the cutting off of affairs is
different.”
“What is the cutting off of affairs like in the Noble One’s
Discipline, venerable sir? It would be good, venerable sir, if the
Blessed One would teach me the Dhamma, showing what the cutting off of
affairs is like in the Noble One’s Discipline.”
“Then listen, householder, and attend closely to what I shall say.”
“Yes, venerable sir,” Potaliya the householder replied. The Blessed
One said this:
“Householder, there are these eight things in the Noble One’s
Discipline that lead to the cutting off of affairs. What are the
eight? With the support of the non-killing of living beings, the
killing of living beings is to be abandoned. With the support of
taking only what is given, the taking of what is not given is to be
abandoned. With the support of truthful speech, false speech is to be
abandoned. With the support of unmalicious speech, malicious speech is
to be abandoned. With the support of no rapacity and greed, rapacity
and greed are to be abandoned. With the support of no spite and
scolding, spite and scolding are to be abandoned. With the support of
no anger and irritation, anger and irritation are to be abandoned.
With the support of non-arrogance, arrogance is to be abandoned. These
are the eight things, stated in brief without being expounded in
detail, that lead to the cutting off of affairs in the Noble One’s
Discipline.”
“Venerable sir, it would be good if, out of compassion, the Blessed
One would expound to me in detail these eight things that lead to the
cutting off of affairs in the Noble One’s Discipline, which have been
stated in brief by the Blessed One without being expounded in detail.”
“Then listen, householder, and attend closely to what I shall say.”
