In Theravada Buddhism we talk sometimes about Sotâpanna (stream enterer)
Does other Buddhist paths also have this in their teaching?

Sotâpanna means one who have seen the Dhamma/Dharma in its true form meaning the person has got a glimps of Nibbana/Nirvana,

I'm Mahayana and I have no qualms with stream entrant, once returner, non returner, etc. Such things are not limited to sects, nor are they even limited to Buddhism.

Tibetan Mahayana may have it as a sutrayana category but they don't seem to make anything of it. I never encountered it until I subsequently studied Theravada.
