We are researching routes on the sbb.ch site. If I understand the posters on this forum, the train site is stating prices as if a customer already has purchased the half price pass. Is this correct ??

Correct, it is a "from" price. Sometimes it will give an even lower price for some trains, and that is for saver tickets you can only buy on the website.
You can click on the price, and select an option ("No Discount") and it will give you the full price, or just double the value shown.
The majority of travellers have half price cards, so it is legitimate, but it is annoying when they quote advance purchase fares (not available on every train), without saying so, when you just want to find the normal price, not actually buy a ticket on the website.

We plan on buying the Half Fare cards, so I just wanted to make sure I was reading the information correctly !
Thank you !
