We could get too deep into the weeds here, but I think of CRPGs as only turn-based, with the active pause of Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, etc., as a separate but related branch.
A rough definition (lines are always blurry, of course) is a game with turn-based combat, a character creator, somewhat free progression, and skills that work outside of combat, providing multiple ways to solve a problem. Fallout, basically.
