EVERYTHING made of massy particles is matter. There are no exceptions to this.

It is a disqualification. But I thought about something to declare the winner in this debate: does plasma have a gravitational pull?
If it is matter, it must have gravity. I frankly don't know the answer to that, and I seriously doubt that it's even discovered. Searched but No google results at my side.
Are you saying that you don't know whether or not the sun exerts a gravitational pull?
