Ja...that's not what those words actually mean.

Jealousy is resentment over potentially losing someone or something, like getting jealous when your SO is acting flirty with someone else. Envy is what you described for both jealousy and envy in your description. Colloquially, jealousy is generally used to mean envy, though.
