Muslim is the one who submits himself fully to Allah...his will as well as his practices.
and as Brother Osama has mentioned further, he is not
1.hypocrite or wicked
2.hostile towards Islam and any of the Muslim Prophets, and beliefs
3.polytheist
Regarding the verses about the followers of other religion ,the common confusion created could be dissolved if you see when the verses/surahs were revealed.
1.The revelation period of Surah Aal imran extends up to 9 AH.(this surah includes the verses you have mentioned and the verse that only Islam would be accepted)
2.Surah Baqarah including the verse for jews Christians etc , was revealed up to 2 AH
3.Surah Maida was revealed up to 7 AH.It includes the verse of finalization of Islam as well as the verse for Christians jews etc.
(revelation periods are noted from englishtafsir.com)
The tafsir Ibn e kathir includes the background of a verse for the acceptance of Jews, Christians etc, as a person who asked for his father or any other person and mentioned that he was righteous,so how he would be dealt, here this verse was revealed.That person had died before the advent of Islam.
Summing up, the conclusion would be that,
Anyone who was righteous before the Prophethood of Muhammad s.a.w.w and the revelation of the verse of finilization of religion Islam,would enter paradise, provided that he was not hypocrite, wicked, polytheist and hostile towards Allah or His Prophets or His books etc.He had to be rewarded fully in this world as well as herafter
Now, after the verse of finalization of religion Islam, and that only Islam would be accepted, there is no room for those who do not believe in Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w and His teachings.
