I don't think he can do this...

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.
