If you take a gas and heat it enough, you'll get a plasma.  If you take a 
plasma and cool it, you'll get a gas (or liquid, or solid).  Plasma has
mass, it has momentum, it (as stars) orbits other things and things orbit
it.  That certainly sounds like a state of matter to me.

You certainly can argue that plasma _has_ energy, lots of it.  It doesn't
make sense to say it _is_ energy.  You certainly can't convert plasma
into a bunch of photons (another form of energy) and have the plasma
disappear when the photons go elsewhere, or a bunch of photon becoming
plasma.  (Ignore antimatter annihilation or pair production as this
involves antimatter, which is an entirely different can of worms)
