Again, number of trips in the TARDIS has zero impact on whether a person is considered a companion. Otherwise, "Strike me pink!" guy from Black Orchid, and lots of people in Earthshock and, wait for it, Time and the Rani would be "companions". People travel all the time in the TARDIS; that alone isn't and cannot be the marker for "companiondom".

Please don't misunderstand me, though. I've never said Courtney wasn't a companion — merely that we needed to wait to see how the series played out.

Why is Katarina a companion? It's largely because the production staff did originally tout her as one, and later production staffs have maintained her as a companion. She's also been on several lists of companions endorsed by the BBC.
