Nop, both are ways of calling the same language. The Spanish Royal Academy makes it clear: https://www.rae.es/dpd/espa%C3%B1ol https://www.rae.es/dpd/espa%C3%B

But your answer doesn’t make sense in this context. The original commenter used both of these words as if they were different. So clearly they didn’t mean that they are both “ways of calling the same language”. Some Latin Americans will call their language Castellano. Then my guess—since one can only guess what the hell people mean—was that this has something to do with the difference between Spanish from Spain and Spanish from whatever Latin American country. (But who knows?) Furthermore, you’ll see that the original context was Cuban Spanish versus whatever “Spanish” without any adjective means. Do you really think that your little pet peeve about the intra-politics of Spanish languages are relevant in this context? People weren’t talking about the differences between Catalan and Spanish! > The Spanish Royal Academy makes it clear: https://www.rae.es/dpd/espa%C3%B1ol https://www.rae.es/dpd/espa%C3%B1ol Since you’re so sensitive to minority languages and whatnot, maybe you’ll understand that “settlers” might have their own words that might deviate from an Academy based in Spain.

  The Royal Academy covers every dialect of Spanish and their lexicon it's composed of all the Spanish language words spoken from Mexico to Patagonia among Iberia. It's dictionary has nearly every Spanish term registered, no matter which side of the Atlantic you choose. RAE doesn't dictate which dialect of the Spanish it's the "correct" one. Every Spanish language subdialect it's the correct one. For instance, the spelling of z/c before a-o-u/e-i as either /s/ or /th/ depends on the dialect you choose. https://dle.rae.es/c https://dle.rae.es/c

  All Spanish language spoken in all countries is subject to the rules of the Royal Academy of Spanish[1] and the Association of the Academies of Spanish Language[2]. Both institutions work together in keeping an up-to-date dictionary with terms from speakers of all parts of the world. To counter-point your claims, there are a myriad of dialects of Spanish inside Spain. Some of them even are similar to the ones used in Hispanic-America. I'm not talking about the other languages of Spain: Aragonese, Asturian, Basque, Catalan, Galician, Valencian, Extremaduran, etc. I'm only talking about the language that is official in all Spain, Spanish (and its dialects).
