Default One shot items:play vs use during any combat

My friend and I are having a long standing discussion on one-shot items.

He believes that an one-shot item cannot be played to the table as a carried item if the card states "play during any combat." He references from the rules under Items-Playing Them: "Any Item card may be played to the table as soon as you get it, or at any time on your own turn other than in combat (unless the card itself says otherwise)."

For example, the Transferral Potion states "play during any combat" meaning to him that you can't play it to the table and carry it because the card is restricting play only to combat (and during combat you can't play a card to the table). In effect, you can never carry this card. If the card said, "use during any combat", he argues it's not restricting when it can be played to the table (ie. most potions like Freezing Explosive Potion).

I argue on the other hand that "play" and "use" are synonymous and that both of these cards can be played to the table and carried.

Thanks for the help.
