Question Gas appliances in a bedroom...or not a bedroom?

Would you call this part of the bedroom? There was another door that entered that area.

How about this one...the master. Note there was also a gas water heater in this area and a large walk-in master closet was also in this area, so it makes it hard to argue it isn't part of the bedroom if the closet is in there.

It looks like they are using a dinning room as a bedroom which happens to be adjacent to the family room.

The gas buring appliance is ok as it gets its combustion air from outside. The water heater is no good and needs to be sealed off from the sleeping room.
