Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pilgrims wanted to leave the Church of England entirely, while Puritans wanted to reform it from within

The Pilgrims (Plymouth) believed the Church of England was beyond saving and formed their own separate congregations. The Puritans (Massachusetts Bay) maintained they were still part of the Church but sought to demonstrate a 'purer' version of it.
