What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?

All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.
