Pilgrims are people who journey to a sacred place for religious reasons. Usually "the Pilgrims" refers to Puritans who left England and came to American to get away from the Anglicans and practice their nonconformist religion (as it was seen by the Anglicans). Both the Anglicans and the Pilgrims were protestants, they just disagreed with each other. The Jesuits, on the other hand, were a religious Order in the Catholic Church. They were definitely not the same thing.
Jesuits are one order within the Roman Catholic Church. not all RC priests are Jesuits but all Jesuit priests are Roman Catholic.

While they shared similar beliefs and values, the Pilgrims were a specific group seeking to separate from the Church of England, while the Puritans aimed to purify the church from within.
