Yep, bad memory. There were black, green and white in the conduit.

So, black-black, white-white, bare copper to bare copper (or green).

And, of course, splices using proper size solderless connectors ("Wire
Nuts") or other acceptable means, inside proper elecrical boxes!

If all you have in the conduit is white, green, and bare copper, then
that is your only choice but that green wire has to be unambiguously
labeled as Hot by painting the insulation near the ends black.
And, it had better be the proper gauge.
Never, ever, use green for anything other than ground. Period. Say
some idiot comes along in the future and gets killed because you used
green for hot--you're on the hook for that one. Say the building
inspector sees it? Use the wires the way they are intended to be
used...
