Angled statements are part of language.
For example Quran says "You did not throw when you threw but God threw"
"You did not throw" contradicts "you threw" but somehow it comes together "but God threw".
Language is meant to convey.
Another example is that Quran clarifies what is meant by "disbelief" is towards "signs/proofs of God", and we have two meanings to that:
Signs and proofs are presented outwardly but the person doesn't accept.
Signs and proofs have reached the depth of their souls but they refuse and have become stubborn.
Quran clarifies itself and shows the latter is what is meant.
So therefore you can call all non-Muslims disbelievers, but that is not the context of Quran use of the word.
As for the people of Mecca fighting the believers, yes Messenger generally labelled them with that title, but keep in mind these people saw miracles and also had deep knowledge of Quran because Prophet was there to explain it.
It's the same when declaring the people there who believed in trinity, being disbelievers, it's because they knew the truth and the clear proof had come to them.
And in fact, you can't be disbeliever without access to the proof.
There is of course ASIDE From disbelievers, people who are unjust to themselves, by not searching the truth. If people have access to the truth but don't make effort, they will not be excused.
It's only those with access to the proofs, that will be excused because they had no way.
That said, I don't know myself know the way to present the proof of Quran as presented by Messenger during his time....
I believe just as people were excused for not understanding the Torah in that time, and it was no longer proof because of the difficulty in reaching understanding and all the false interpretations out there and falsehood mixed with it.
The same is true of Islam. It's no longer strong affair and no longer a clear manifest proof.
The truth is hidden in this day and age, and majority are excused for not believing, including Muslims for being misguided.
