I agreed with everything in the quoted post except for the first sentence (above).
Many of the ways an FPGA can be used are the definition of "processing" digitized data; and the inevitable consequence of that, is that an FPGA is (among other things) a type of "processor".
FPGA's certainly are not one of the typical CISC/RISC Central Processing Units usually found at the heart of a desktop computer or of many embedded computing products; but "processor" is certainly one of the ways they can be configured and used.
