The two terms refer to very different concepts. A colonist is a person who is a citizen of a state located far away, but settles in the name of that state as opposed to incorporating into a more local state. A loyalist is a person who is patriotic to the current government of his/her state of citizenship. You can have loyalist colonists, revolutionary colonists, loyalist statesmen, and revolutionary statesmen.
