AFAIK, “Patriot” is a broad-brush term for the holistic system, similar to AEGIS.
“PAC” does refer exclusively to the missiles themselves, iirc.
The wiki article actually goes into some detail about the different ground units and modules that are used with a battery (some required, some optional/capability-add).
There’s also PAAC-4/SkyCeptor, but UA is (unfortunately) not getting those afaik
