I think it would depend on your definition of 'Sabbatarian' as well. Those who do not keep the 4th tend to refer to 'Sabbatarians' as those that Rich describes who want to conform everyone to their scruples as to *how* one keeps the day holy. (with a negative conotation) While those who hold to the beliefs of the Puritans tend to refer to themselves as 'Sabbatarians' as those who desire a day free of the cares of the world to rest and worship. (with a positive conotation)
In Baker's Theological Dictionary 'Sabbatarianism' is likened to Constantines regulation against Sunday's labor in 321. If that is the definition of 'Sabbatarian', then I am not one. If 'Sabbatarian' is defined as one who loves to rest and worship, then I am one.
