It is in reference to the level of mastery, young Jean is an Omega level mutant (telepath), but has no mastery of the power. He is not a master of the art, or there would be nothing to learn, as there is nothing about telepathy adult Jean, Xavier or Emma need to learn they are now limited by the amount of power they can use to accomplish telepathic feats. Grey has no such limitations, yet Frost and Xavier do, but they are still omega class telepaths. The proper term is Omega class telepath when talking about Frost and Xavier. Quire is an omega level telepath because he is an omega level mutant, just like Hope would be an omega level mimic, that does not make him an omega class telepath.
