thermal
Heat
The transfer of energy between two objects at different average thermal kinetic energies (temperatures) is referred to as heat transfer. It is always called heat transfer, regardless of what kind of energy is being transferred.
Mass
Heat is not the transfer of thermal energy. Heat is the thermal energy. What drives itacross a boundary between substances or objects is a difference in their temperatures.
thermal
Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation. The formulae for the rate of transfer - if that's what you are after - vary, depending on which type of transfer is predominant.

Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.

Since different objects have different heat conductivity and different temperatures and heat capacities, the time can vary without limit.
Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.
A transfer of heat (H) energy does not occur without a temperature differential. If the two objects had different amounts of H then a transfer would indeed occur. In this case heat would flow from a higher to lower temperature object.
Conduction and convection are two ways in which thermal energy is transferred, the third way is by radiation.
