I didn't even know that "catsup" was an option until now. Where I'm from, we call it "tomato sauce" and "ketchup" is the American word as far as I've ever known.

What I consider ketchup/catsup includes much more sugar and vinegar than what I consider tomato sauce. Is that not the case where you are from or is there a different word used?

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.
