Most clients during the assessment phase say they want to train and work on their abdominal area, some say I want a stronger core, how would you answer this question.

There is no separation between these two. The real issue is that previous science has updated to see that the old school crunch (or worse sit up) is not that effective to train the core. This is because it has been found that the rectus abdominis is not as important to stability as previously thought. But now we know that all of the spinal stabilizers need to be trained and that the rectus abdominis is a minor player in that arena.

Abdominals are a subset of the core. The abs are a part of the core, but just one part. These days, most would consider the core to be a cylinder of stability around the torso, topped by the diaphragm and bottomed by the pelvic floor.
