It’s easy to feel that there’s an ‘official’ definition of what a continent is, bit there isn’t. It’s just to do with context and convention. Likewise countries, and many other things that arose over time. It’s true to say that Scotland or Catalonia or Kosovo is a country, it’s also true, in some contexts, to say it isn’t.
