Well, many Puritans were separatists. And even though some of them claimed to be non-separating because they had not denounced their former church, in essence their religious practices and differences made them separate anyway.

Puritans wanted reform, and although the separation was influenced by external forces to some extent, many groups of puritans separated themselves, not only religiously, but geographically... so, some of them were separatists only in action and not in philosophy, whereas others were separatists in both ways.
