The Pilgrims and Puritans were both religious Protestants who had strong disagreements with the Anglican Church (aka the Church of England). The Pilgrims broke from the Anglican Church while the Puritans tried to purify it.

Answer:

Pilgrims were separatists, followers of the teachings of John Calvin, who believed that human nature was inherently depraved, and all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. Pilgrims wanted to separate themselves from the Church of England. They also wanted to separate themselves from those who were not believers, the damned. Pilgrims believed they were elected by God for salvation and they wanted to worship only with other "saints" who had also been saved by God. They sought to establish a colony in America to achieve these aims.

Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to "purify" the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshiping without much interference. Puritans settled Massachusetts in 1630

Answer:

Pilgrims were anyone who came to America. Puritans were a specific religious group. So, all Puritans were Pilgrims, but not all Pilgrims were Puritans.
