A professional camera would be any camera you can use to make money as a professional, as you said, but I would go with any camera that allows me a certain level of control over what I'm trying to photograph. It doesn't need to be the most advanced or expensive, as long as I can register events or create portraits controling light and being able to focus as and how I think is better.
I agree with you statement; the term 'professional camera' is often used by companies making camera's to split their offering and does not imply the usage of the device. In the commercial context often products rated "professional" offer more after-service options like fast repairs, replacement device, easy international support; etc In most cases there are a list of requirements before you can get qualified for professional services; you have to have a company, must make money with photography, etc My Sony A7 III is not classified as a professional camera by Sony and i cannot get the extend after market services with it. My GFX 100S is eligible by Fuji for professional services.
I’ve done a professional shoot on an Olympus air, arguably something that barely qualifies as a camera at all and yet when final images were shown and people were asked what camera I used a lot of people said a canon R5, Sony A7V and others. If you can produce images that look professional than the camera can be a professional camera when used by the right person. My personal opinion~

Really like your content, but the drums (or music?) in the background are really distracting and annoying, sorry.
