Person is a label applied from the outside. If you see someone as a person, they are a person. Only your criteria matter in that case. You may not have a structured list of characteristics they must meet. You might just need to feel some empathy toward them.
so .... a Person is someone you can relate to. For whatever reason.
It's really a meaningless adjective because the Object (of 'Personhood') is not in control of the distinction.
