Confounding and effect modification are not the same problem.

A confounder is linked to both the exposure and the outcome, sits off the causal pathway, and distorts your estimate. You control it.

Effect modification means the association truly differs across groups. You report it.

How to tell: stratify. If the strata agree with each other but differ from the crude estimate, think confounding. If the strata differ from each other, consider effect modification.
