Chlorine is a diatomic molecule, forming a covalent bond with itself, Cl2.
Chloride refers to an ionic bond where chlorine has taken an electron and become a chloride.

No, Chloride is an ion that contain one unit -ve charge Cl^-.
Covalent bond is formed between two or more same or different atoms by MUTUAL SHARING of electron like in Cl2 molecule or Cl- Cl

Most metal chlorides are ionically bonded.
Most organic chlorides are covalently bonded
Most oxy-chloro ions (like ClO3-) are covalently bounded.
