That's what my dictionary said too but wasn't quite sure since I haven't been able to bounce it off a JTE yet.

if it's a conditional clause it would be 条件節 じょうけんせつ

a conditional statement would be 条件文

Conditionals should really be taught BY THEIR FUNCTION class. Zero, 1st, 2nd and 3rd conditionals.

Perhaps an update to that linked page would be handy (it lists there being only 3 types when there are 4) ;)

条件付 じょうけんつき is something different and unrelated as a grammar point.  It is more like "strings attached" or "conditionally" as in "I agree conditionally"

Finally got to sit down with an English teacher today. She said there were multiple ways to say it.

仮定法 kateihou
条件 jouken

She says when she teaches JHS students, she simply says "moshi...nareba." But, she's going to check with a Japanese teacher today and get back to me.

Thanks Paul and Jessen for your responses. BTW, the reason I asked about this was because I have been updating the grammar pages on the site and was trying to add the Japanese grammar names to the pages.
