Carbon vs. Composite

The guy at the Trek store tells me, in his sales shpeal, to avoid any bike that says COMPOSITE, only get a true carbon.

So, what is "composite?" He said usually a fiberglass and resin mix?

Any one have any ideas on this? I figure just his way of keeping me out of other bike shops, but is there any truth to it? Is Composite as strong as Carbon?
