General question, with these pardons, are their convictions erased? Or, does the conviction still stand, but any punishment is forgiven?

Convictions still stand (remain on record; the convicts are still convicts); punishment or penalties may be reduced or removed going forward (e.g., if a convict was sent to jail the pardon would get him out early but would not compensate him for times he already spent in jail; if a convict have paid monetary fines the pardon also does not get him a refund but the pardon can allow the convict to not pay any fine he has not already paid).

No it could just mean a person is not loyal to their country, or to principles, etc. One could easily be considered a traitor if they actively resisted the constitutional process involved in the election of a president and peaceful transfer of power. They aren’t helping a specific “enemy” but they are being disloyal to the above process that is as pure of a foundational principle of our country as anything else.

No, they thought the process was being thwarted. I've never read of any of them trying to overthrow the government.
