Well, right, that is my point.  Accidental notes are notes that aren’t in the 
current key (signature).  These are different distinctions:

1. sharp/flat notes & natural notes

2. notes not in the key (accidental notes) & notes in the key (???)

I don’t know that there's any term that’s the complement to “accidental notes” 
(besides writing out “notes in the key”).
