AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says

Is it true that heat is a means for transferring energy between systems rather than energy contained within a system?

Yes. In thermodynamics, heat is consistently defined as energy in transit between systems due to a temperature difference, rather than a quantity of energy stored inside a system.
