Right, that's my opinion of jelly and jam as well.

To make jelly, you use a "jelly bag", that is a muslin bag (or one
improvised with a cloth) that you strain the pulp through to get only
the juice. Then boil it with the sugar and (depending on the fruit)
pectin and/or lemon juice until it starts to set.

To make jam, you just boil the whole or chopped fruit with
(optionally) pectin and/or lemon juice until it starts to set.
