The fact that non-buddhists use the term 'ultimate reality' to refer to something else doesn't have anything to do with how Buddhists use it. It is only misleading to the person who associates it with other meanings. the fact that I use water to satisfy my thirst is not influenced by the fact that others use water to bathe in.

But, as you can see, Buddhists are also giving it other meanings -- including you.
