Why a catalyst is not considered a reactant or product in chemical reaction?

A catalyst is unchanged by the reaction, and remains as it was. It causes the start of the reaction, but is still there AFTER the reaction. Example- the catalytic converter on an automobile exhaust contains platinum metal. This causes a chemical reaction to take place in the exhaust gasses, but the metal remains in the converter, and is not consumed.
