Withers in BG3 says he is niether alive nor undead.

Undead is already an indeterminate state between dead and alive so he is saying he is between alive and an indeterminate state. Hes undead.

He's not undead. Undead in d&d has a fairly loose but set range of meaning, it isn't an indeterminate state. It is, within that context, determinate.

He's a former deity, jergal. This means that he has a different status, and if you look at the options you get when first talking to him as a cleric, it says something about him being steeped in divine energy.

He's more of a demigod

I found out that he's an avatar of Jergal the other day. So he's correct, he's not alive or undead, he's a divine entity.

He's not saying he's between those two things, he's saying he exists entirely outside of that paradigm.

Which he does, because Withers is >!an avatar of Jergal, the former god of death!<
