Paladin: he's a soldier. He's taken only some of the vows and cannot preach, or administer sacraments. He's a man of faith, but not a priest. Basically, it's modeled after the Teutonic Knight, or the Templar Knight. They took only some of the vows of the monastic orders, and were militant orders.
see I'd see this as a better definition of the DnD cleric ie -
The DnD Cleric is a Temple Knight, an ordained member of a holy order dedicated to defending the Faith
A Paladin is the chosen champion of the Diety inspired by divine might to manifest the Divine Law
The difference then is one of inspiration and mandate - the Cleric is mandated by the Church/Faith and is part of the system
The Paladin (like the Prophet) is mandated directly by the Diety
The Priest (who performs the sacraments and ministers to the faithful) is probably an Expert, maybe an Adept or a Bard...
