The word pilgrims is a plural, common noun; a word for any pilgrim anywhere.

A proper noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or a title; for example:

  • Pilgrims Society of London and New York
  • Little Pilgrims Preschool, Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Cincinnati, OH
  • Pilgrims Knob, VA (population 479)
  • Pilgrim's Cafe, Appleton, WI
  • 'The Pilgrim's Progress' by John Bunyan

The noun pilgrims is capitalized only when it is used as a proper noun.

No. It should be capitalized only at the beginning of the sentence and when it forms part the name of a specific person, place, thing, or title.

Example: Have you read the book, 'The Pilgrim's Progress'?

"Pilgrim" in its technical sense, someone who journeys for religious reasons, would not need to be capitalized. However "Pilgrim" meaning the ones who came over on the Mayflower usually would.
