Slight difference between the concepts though... the "bordering-to-psychotic" term in my language doesn't imply that there is some qualitative difference between it and psychosis, it's a matter of degree. And this concept is used more widely, too, often when there is no indication of a PD (e.g. I've heard it used about mood/psychotic disorder symptoms without PD). Psychiatry isn't a very exact science...
