Your approach of avoiding labels is correct. For far too long, grammarians have held the English fort and used terms which are outdated to confuse both students and teachers. Thus even the term perfect means without error to the user but to the grammarian it means completion. The difference in meaning should be the first lesson in any exposition on tenses!
Keep it up, Jennifer!
