If it's a foul tip that's caught, then yes it's an out only if there are 2 strikes - if it's a foul ball, I've still got an out.

You are correct, the OP concerned an caught foul ball. I believe the issue of the "foul tip" arose when "higher than the batter's head" comment was made.
As we all know, that's "requirement" for a ball to be caught for an out is a myth and I believe that is where the thread went awry.
