If you can exclude coincidence, which is a question of confidence and what kind of data the correlation is based on, then you can say that the correlation does necessarily involve a causal relationship.
Well that’s just what I think. If you can show me how that’s wrong, then please do. Except I don’t think you can.

That’s begging the question, if by “coincidence” you just mean those cases where there is a correlation which does not involve a causal relationship.
