This is a nerdy question, but is it imprecise to refer to Scots Irish Presbyterians as puritans? For example, Thomas Boston is often called a puritan minister because he was contemporaneous with the puritan movement in England and because his theology is very similar to puritan theology. But presbyterianism in America has always been divided along the lines of English puritans (who have generally resisted subscription) and Scots Irish presbyterians (who have generally emphasized subscription).
