As far as my mind goes, a Jinchuuriki is someone who:

a) had all or part of a Tailed Beast sealed within them through fuinjutsu (Naruto, Gaara, Minato, B, Rin, Obito, Madara, Black Zetsu, likely all of the other Jinchuuriki killed by Akatsuki)

b) was given Tailed Beast chakra permanently by the beast itself (Naruto, but not Kakashi)

c) extracted a beast from within the Ten Tails (Obito)
