The person who told you this was getting the approval label for batting helmet / cage confused with the approval label for catcher's helmet/cage.
For batters, both the helmet and the cage must carry a NOCSAE approval label. This is because they may be purchased together or separately.
For catchers, the NOCSAE label is embossed into the helmet and shows a picture of a helmet with a cage. The catcher's, helmet / cage must be purchased as a combined unit, hence, the different label.

Catcher's helmet label:
