Right? Or is that implied?

I know the rule book uses the phrase "foul fly ball" or similar wording, but in reality there is no such thing. A fly ball is neither fair nor foul until something happens to define its status. A "caught foul fly" is actually a caught fly ball in foul territory, and it is live, and for all rules intents and purposes, a fair ball.
A foul ball has had its status defined - it is foul.
