In Canada we have the same issue, and get around it by calling a member of the federal House of Commons a “Members of Parliament” (MP), while a member of a provincial legislature is called an MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament).

But that’s just as ambiguous as “Congressperson”. Parliament is composed of the Queen, the Senate and the Commons, so a Senator is just as much a “Member of Parliament” as is a member of the Commons.
