Question What is the difference between being TRULY collard and being owned?
Answer That would depend on the individuals involved. To some, the collar, even though a nice visual reminder, is nothing more than just that. To them, their collar resides in their heart, where their gift of submission comes from, not a thing that resides upon the neck that can be removed at any time.
Still others, whom still serve with no less commitment, prefer the thrill of being forced to wear the actual collar, or more likely, the pride of being to wear a symbol of their Owners love in public.
In either event, the slave is still owned, whether or not they wear a collar, or their Dominant chooses to have them wear one.
