I think “convicted” would be the technical definition of convicted, which would mean that you've been found by a court to be guilty. It would depend on the specifics of the jurisdiction and how their law is structured as to whether or not that would in fact be the case where there may be some form of a plea. Often, that actually involves a guilty trade, in the sense that you agree to the guilt charge in addition to the mitigation factor, so it would depend on the use case and the specifics.
