"Someone with a non-ABA degree is essentially a paralegal."
If they have a law license they are an attorney, if they don't, they are not a paralegal by default unless they actually work as a paralegal, usually in a law office.
I might add many paralegals hold a MSLS (Masters in Legal Studies) from regionally accredited schools. If I were hiring paralegals that is the qualification plus experience I would look at and I would still be dubious of online schools even if they are regionally accredited.
