Do you know of any sutta references for that, Goofaholix ?

Bhikkhu Bodhi has written that "an important but generally neglected clue... is the fact that many of the Buddha's followers who attained the first three stages of awakening, from stream-entry through non-returning, were lay people."

Piya Tan wrote about this as well.
