I think the main issue here is I'm unclear, and not using the correct terminology. Apologies... I'm trying to sort this out, and am still confused, obviously.

You have an official statement on the blockchain.info blog.
https://blog.blockchain.com/2017/10/12/bitcoin-hardfork-blockchain-wallet/

The short answer is: you do not have to do anything. Blockchain.info will allow you access Bitcoin gold coins when the new network stabilizes. Their priority is the safety of the original Bitcoin blockchain.
But, as I have already mentioned in the previous answer, if you want access to Bitcoin gold right away (once the Bitcoin gold wallet is available) only thing you will need to do is import your private keys into a new wallet. You can do this at any time after the fork, nothing will be lost.

Please note that there are less than 30 blocks left until the snapshot block, so I would not recommend that you start any kind of transfers right now. Transaction may not be confirmed at the time.

I really just want to make sure my previous balance of BTC is in tact. Again, I'm still not 100% confident I understand this fork and what the result will be.

Thanks for your thoughtful response.
