I saw a post from you in 2018 that said you fire many different types of pottery together. I did that and now I am completely unsure of what is my low fire and what is my stoneware. Some of it I can tell apart bc I can see the grog but some of the stoneware doesn’t have grog! I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what I was thinking. I could tell them apart by the color when they were wet. Most of my pieces are utilitarian. Thank you so much.

You'll definitely need to figure out which is which, because if you fire a low fire white clay to stoneware temps you'll have a big mess of melted pots. The best you can do is take a sample of each that is known and start comparing. When in doubt, only fire it to low fire temps.
I always recommend to my customers that they use clay bodies that are easily identifiable if they're working at two different glaze temps, like a low fire white and a stoneware brown.
