It may not be using the exact same definition.

In LDP, for instance, there is a difference between a FEC for a host
address and a /32 address.  A host-address FEC may only specify packets
destined for the node that owns that address.  A /32 FEC may also
specify packets that are to be routed through that address to some other
destination.
