C/R and R/D

I am of course referring to Challenge / Response and Read / Do in the Normal Checklists.

My entire career I have always understood C/R to mean I would read an item from the checklist ( as NFP ) and "Challenge" the flying pilot for his action and "Response" For example "landing gear" and the FP would respond "3 green"

R/D to mean that I would say the item and also complete the action. For example "Floats...Armed"

Is this how everyone else sees this?

The reason I'm asking is my company has now decided that these 2 phrases would mean the exact opposite, C/R means I (as NFP) would have already completed the item (possibly from memory) and now am looking for the other pilot to confirm. Whereas R/D would require an action and response from the FP.

Thoughts/comments?
