MASS (or energy density) is the name we give to the property of matter which causes curvature of space-time

You mean Gravitational mass.

Given this was a discussion about gravity I thought that was assumed. Obviously not.

Mass is a far more common term than either gravitational mass or inertial mass, which typically only used when being careful about which you are referring to.

Being careful about that to which you are referring is at the core of this thread.
