Working with measurable functions modulo equality almost everywhere, the sequence is Cauchy in Lp space if for every $ϵ>0$ there exists $N$ such that $\Vert f_n-f_m{\Vert }_p<ϵ$ for all $m,n\ge N$. This is a statement about integral norm distance, not pointwise convergence. Without quotienting null functions the displayed quantity is a seminorm, so the conventional $L^p$ normed space uses these equivalence classes.
