Yes, both houses constitute Congress, but House Members are known as “Congressman” or Representative So-and-so, whereas Senators are called such. President Lincoln was the last House Member with no other experience elected to that high office.

President Lincoln was the last House Member with no other experience elected to that high office.

No, JFK was, he also served in the House.

Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat, and served in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960

‘President Lincoln was the last House Member with no other experience elected to that high office.’

Actually Lincoln left the House in 1848, and was definitely a former Congressman by 1860. The one and only Congressman directly elected President was James Garfield.
