A scientist can be anyone engaged in the study of a certain field of science or working on advancements in that field. I don't see how you can do proper science without the scientific method really. But you are not required to apply the scientific method on subject outside the field of science you are engaged in. Dr. or Prof. titles are not required, though they are an acknowledgement of having learned in that field and aiding in the advancement. But only in that field. But there are of course scientists that hold titles in more than one field of science.
When someone (usually a theist) says to me "well but this person has a Phd so this person is really smart" that doesn't tell me much. A Phd in biology is of little use when discussing physics and vice versa. Not that you made that mistake here EVF, this is just a general statement.
