    Simply put Puritans wanted to be less Catholic and the Pilgrims were more connected to the Church of England.

    The Puritans were those people fleeing from England who were Protestants who wanted to purify the Church of England from Romish ritual. It can be seen that Mary Tudor, who was also known as “Bloody Mary” was staunchly Catholic and persecuted Protestants quite freely. Many of them had fled from England but returned after Mary was executed and Elizabeth succeeded her as Queen. They had hopes that she would do away with the ritual that had come from the Roman Catholic Church, however, even though she tolerated Protestantism much more than had Mary, she still retained much of Catholic ritual in the church. Those who were Puritans in their beliefs had to choose a path. Some joined the church willingly and became Episcopalian Puritans, hoping to work from within, Others joined with protest and reluctance, trying by ignoring what they didn’t want to acknowledge. They went on to form Congregationalism and Presbyterianism.
    A Pilgrim is someone who separated from the Church of England, refusing to join it. They were known as Pilgrim Puritans, still believing that the church could be purified but wanted to change it from afar.

    The English Puritans mostly wanted to abolish any religious ceremonies that were thought to be remnants of Roman Catholicism. The Pilgrims were those of the church of England who migrated to America.
