In Magic: The Gathering, the word card always refers to a Magic card with a Magic: The Gathering card front and a Magic card back. Tokens are never considered cards, even if cards are used to represent them.
A card is only referred to as a "card" by game rules or effects when in a player's hand, library, or graveyard, is "phased out," or is removed from the game. When a card has been played and is on the stack waiting to resolve, the game refers to it as a "spell." When a card is in play, the game refers to it as a "permanent," or simply by its type or subtype.
