Less couched in Solana jargon
| Property | Processed | Confirmed | Finalized | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Received block | x | x | x | |
| Block on majority fork | x | x | x | |
| Block contains target tx | x | x | x | |
| 66%+ stake voted on block | x | x | ||
| 31+ confirmed blocks built atop block | x |

1in fact, this is the original. it was added to the docs later, github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/27265 Dec 24, 2022 at 21:16
From here
'processed': Query the most recent block which has reached 1 confirmation by the connected node
'confirmed': Query the most recent block which has reached 1 confirmation by the cluster
'finalized': Query the most recent block which has been finalized by the cluster
