Did the puritans believed that they alone were saved and everyone else would go to hell?

Puritans held a belief in predestination, meaning they thought that God had already chosen who would be saved and who would not. While they believed they were among the elect, they did not universally assert that everyone else was damned; rather, they viewed themselves as part of a covenant community striving for holiness. However, they did consider many outside their community, including those in the Church of England and other religious groups, as being at risk of damnation. Overall, their views emphasized both a sense of chosen-ness and a concern for the spiritual state of others.
