Nope, the requirements are as stated in the first post of this thread:

Temple Initiate - New PC of any class. Receives a small discount to temple healing and stores if they exist. Discount increases as new temple ranks are attained
Lay Member - Temple Initiate of any class. Receives faction item and may access restricted areas of the temple
Clergy Initiate - Lay Member who has at least 1 Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Blackguard level. Note that not all faiths allow Druids, Paladins, or Blackguards so review the in-game list of Forgotten Realms gods in the Player Guide for those that do. May begin using faction item to request aid from other members of the temple and extraplanar servants of their god
Clergy - Clergy Initiate who has at least 5 Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Blackguard levels
Respected Clergy - Clergy member who has at least 10 Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Blackguard levels

KTA

Well according to this list, I shouldn't be an initiate at all because the character has 5 levels in cleric, it should be that he's Clergy, not Initiate at all, yet it states initiate.

Can you understand my confusion now?

This may just be a misunderstanding of the particular vernacular used, but clarification would be nice.
