Not until we find a reg that stipulates the second pilot is a pax.

I think that's asking a bit much. Why would there be such a reg? The vast
majority of laws, guidelines and beliefs in our society define
requirements to be an "X." Why would we need to continue, then, to clarify
the requirements for not being an "X?"

We have the sole manipulator of the controls (PIC) and we have a person
responsible for the flight (loggable PIC). That's usually the same person
but, by negative inference, everyone else is a passenger - unless one of
them is a CFI in which case they get blamed for everything even if they
are in the back seat. (that's a bad joke that has seen the light of day)

Don't forget about safety pilot if flying under the hood.
