Cabin Class?

Perhaps the main operational difference is whether or not the cabin is
pressurized.

The one that makes the most sense to me, is the one about everyone entering
though the same door, and going forward between the seats, to get to the
pilot's seats.

So a 747 is not cabin class?

OK, I'll bite. How does one get to the pilot seats in a 747?

Starting from the ground, you climb two flights of access steps to reach the
main deck door. Once inside the craft, you climb a third flight to reach
the upper deck, turn right (usually), pass the galley, heads, emergency
egress door, and enter the flight deck. Variations on the theme if you're
flying the freighter version, but the structure's about the same. I think
it probably qualifies as cabin-class.

Through a choice of several doors. Everyone does not enter the same
door unless the airport is very, very old and unable to handle multiple
doors.

Pressurized, Baron 58P, Beech Duke, Mooney Mustang, Cessna
P210, not cabin class, Duke comes close except it is small.

Cabin class [?] that are not pressurized, DC 3, B25
conversion, Lockheed LoadStar, Cessna Caravan, Beech 18.

Then the venerable and mighty DC-3 would not be cabin-class.

So a "P" Navajo would be "Cabin Class" but a Chieftain wouldn't be?

I never heard that stand-up headroom was a requirment to be termed cabin
class. [...]

Chieftain is basically a pressurize Navaho.
