Admittedly, this distinction amounts to samantic hair-splitting, but it really is no different from the difference between a "Muslim" and an "Islamist". Muslims hold a particular ideology, Islamists attempt to force that ideology on others. Similarly, simply believing in creation does not necessarily make one a creationist. The desire to transform that belief into a political ideology does.
