I think that is kinda true. Like, American brands that sell here are branded as "Heinz Ketchup" for example. And it's definitely more processed or whatever. But I feel like most people would still say "pass the tomato sauce", or if they say ketchup it's in a joking way. I couldn't speak for my whole country though.

I suppose the context of condiment vs. ingredient is enough. I don't think many recipes use ketchup/catsup and most meals don't leave tomato sauce out to be used as a condiment.

I feel like maybe some more context I could add is that we have "tomato sauce" that's pretty similar to ketchup. Comes in a bottle to pour from and is one of the most regularly used sauces. Still processed I guess but thicker and better tasting and definitely not as sweet as the American stuff. As opposed to tomato paste or tinned tomato or whatever.

I've never once heard anyone call it tomato sauce in my neck of the woods in america. It's always been ketchup.

I live in Pittsburgh however, Heinz is headquartered here and the factory is still operational downtown. Hell, the Steelers football field was called Heinz Field and had giant ketchup bottles by the scoreboards up until a couple years ago.

Must be a regional thing.
