Protestans who wanted to reform the Anglican Church were called Puritans
In the seventeenth century, the Protestants who wanted to reform the Church of England were called Puritans. They were also known as Roundheads.
Puritans, because they wanted to "purify" the Church of England from the doctrinal/liturgical vestiges of the Roman Catholic Church.
They were called Separatists.
Puritans
The Puritans had sought to reform the Anglican Church. They believed that the Church of England had not gone far enough in separating itself from Roman Catholicism, and believed the church still pushed forward a lot of catholic based doctrine.
During the reign of Henry VIII the English Catholic Church separated from Rome and Henry was made Head of the Catholic Church which was renamed the Church of England. This was because Henry needed a divorce from his wife who could not give him a male heir, and the Pope would not annul the marriages. After Henry's death the church was engilfed in conflict as to the nature of the new church, many wanted to reform the church away from Catholicism and adopt the new Protestant ideas coming from within England and Europe. The Puritans wanted a complete removal of all traces of Rome as an example. During the reign of Elizabeth I a compromise was reached where the Church of England retained some Catholic practices and dopted some Protestant reforming ideas. The new faith evolved as the Anglican faith which remains to this day a unique mix of both Catholic and Protestant.
Martin Luther was a Catholic monk who sought to reform the Catholic Church.
Yes they wanted to go to the New World in hopes of keeping Catholocism pure. It wasn't new, in England at the time churches were being more leanient and Protestant and other churches were forming, the Puritans went to America to maintain the old and original pure, and according to them completely perfect religion & society.
They wanted to complete their reform of the Church of England and demonstrate the success of their theocracy.

It was Protestant. Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558-1603, the last Tudor Monarch of England was considered illegimate by the Roman Catholic Church, who wanted her cousin, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots on the Throne of England. She summoned Parliament to consider a Reformation Bill to create a new church in England in 1559. Parliament entered a new Bill, the Act of Supremacy making Elizabeth the head of the "Protestant" Church of England. Thus in 1600, England was a Protestant monarchy, part of the Protestant Reformation.
