Calling GParted a distro is quite a bit over the top, IMO. It's a bootable partition manager. A pretty good one but still a partition manager. Even if it has a stripped down Linux kernel under the hood (running anything else would be pointless as file systems are almost exclusively implemented in the kernel).

A distro can literally be the kernel and file system, I think it passes.
No binutils, coreutils, shell, vcs etc? I'd expect a full distro to be at least mostly POSIX compatible. But even so, "Kernel and file systems" doesn't make much sense because the file systems already are in the kernel. And a kernel without userspace will miss anything to communicate with because that all is in userspace.
