Since the pull of gravity is pretty much constant on Earth’s surface, a measure of mass implies a weight and vice versa.
You are right, mass is measured in kilograms and slugs, and weight in Newtons and pounds. However, people don’t bother with the difference because we something with 454g of mass has 1 pound of weight (while on Earth).
