May 16, 2019 at 12:58 comment added user138661 @TheoJohnson-Freyd interesting. I think that "concrete category" should not mean anything, and what you say should be conveyed by "concretizable category". Though I am not really sure what other people think.

Oct 23, 2009 at 4:55 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd @Tom: I think "concretized" is a great word. The "concrete category" should mean "category equipped with a faithful functor to SET", rather than the existence of such a thing.

Oct 23, 2009 at 2:50 comment added Dinakar Muthiah Yup, that's exactly what I mean.
Oct 23, 2009 at 2:45 comment added Tom Leinster Can you define "concretized"? It's not a common term in category theory. Sometimes people call a category concrete if there exists (or if it comes equipped with) a faithful functor to the category of sets. But usage varies.
