Psychosis: Loss of contact with reality, can be manifest as schizophrenia (multiple types), hallucinations (false perceptions), delusions (false beliefs), flattend affect (loss of range of emotions), abnormal thinking, diminished motivation, and disturbed work and social functioning.

In a psychotic episode a person disconnects from reality and experiences hallucinations. Psychosis can occur concurrently with another mental problem (e.g. a manic episode), due to an organic problem not considered a mental problem, or be induced by drugs.

Does having psychotic features make you a psychopath?

The answer to your question is no. Psychotic features include things like strange beliefs (delusions), and hearing voices that have no source (hallucinations). A psychotic person is out of, or mostly out of, touch with reality. A psychopath is a person who has little or no conscience, and will readily use or hurt people for personal gratification or gain, with no accompanying feelings of guilt, and much of the time no fear either. No not really.I think its possible that you can have psychosis and be a psychopath but if you have psychotic features you are psychotic.Psychotic is not in reality like hallucinating or thinking someones after you.A psychopath is someone who lacks empathy and has no conscience.
