I'd say there's no definition that everybody agrees on, so if you are trying to make formal claims about algorithms, you have to be precise. Otherwise, I would say, the different concepts of algorithm have enough shared features that in most informal usages, you can use the term without confusion. The same thing applies to the term "probability", and we all use that term anyway.
