I just did a quick search on a few words I hear being kicked around.
A hajji is one who makes the pilgrimage to Mecca. A hajj is the pilgrimage.
A jihadi was not defined although it seems to mean one who actively believes and participates in jihad or holy war. (i.e. Al-Qaeda)
Merriam-Webster and wikipedia where consulted.
