Almost, but not quite. Either or you know.
.
Alll the translators of the KJV were members of the Church of England. The majority of them are associated with the High Church party of the Church of England.

Alexander McClure maintained that "the great majority of the translators were of his [Bancroft's] way of thinking" (KJV Translators, p. 220). Kenneth Bradstreet affirmed that the “vast majority” of the KJV translators “were High Church Anglicans in their church politics” (KJV in History, p. 110). Bradstreet maintained that it is “clear that this Catholic doctrine perspective, articulated by Andrews, represented the view of all but a handful of the translators, and represented the official theology of the Anglican Church in general” (p. 116).

A few of them were once associated with the Puritan party in the Church of England, but they had been forced to conform by the 1604 canons made by Archbishop Bancroft and were at least no longer publicly advocating "Puritan" views.
