What is the difference between separatists and puritans?

Answer:
A separatist is someone who wants to break away from current practice.

A puritan is a specific type of Christian who believes that religious institutions (historically Roman Catholicism) have corrupted the worship of God. They tend to believe that people should return to a purer form of worship and foster a more personal connection with God.
