Newbie flying question

Alright, I know I will sound stupid for asking this, but is one supposed to use the rudder in conjunction with the ailerons while turning in the air? I keep seeing conflicting answers, as some people say that in the air, only the ailerons are needed to turn and the rudder is only used for cross wind correction and crab alignment, while others say that both the ailerons and the rudder are used to make a turn.

If I remember correctly, turning with only the ailerons will cause a slip.

As you can clearly tell, I am all new to this stuff and have never flown before.
