No self-respecting Italian would ever confuse the two 😄😄😄

Yes, generally speaking, if a roux or thickener is used, it is a tomato gravy , if not, it's a sauce- that is how I was taught way back when.

Sort of like the gravy you get with real home made Swiss Steak- tomato gravy, versus what you serve over many pasta dishes which is a tomato sauce.
