Well, looking at the various longform cult writeups up on www.glorantha.com
From the longform Rufelza cult writeup, members in the cult are known as lights, lightmoons, or moonlights. The leader of a Rufelza temple is known as a Demagogue. Devotees are something of an embaressment. There's also Collectors and Dispersers but these appear to be government offices. (BTW just noticed that in the longform, the cult is said to have no disciples).
From the Storm Bull writeup, members of the Storm Bull tradition are called Bullmen, Holy Men of the same are called Storm Khans, while the Shamans are called Storm Shamans (although I have some qualms about the presence of Shamans in the Storm Bull cult). Those bullies who practice both the Orlanthi rite and the Praxians rites (without having learned the One Bull Secret) are known as Full Bulls.
From the Aeolians, we know that the liturgists of the Divine Saints are called Sacrificers (they substitute bread images for living creatures in their rituals). Members of the order of the Sacred Bull are known as Warriors of Taurox (as opposed to the HW title of lay member).
So I don't think the titles have vanished although it looks to me there might be specific conditions beyond that of being a normal devotee before one is recognized as being a Wind Lord say.
