I agree with what you said. The Dirac "function" is is
only defined by what it does under an integration. It is
really a distribution (generalised function), since no
normal function exists that behaves like the Dirac delta.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_%28mathematics%29
for some details on distributions.
