Is it correct to say that orphaned users don't have an instance login but do have a db login and that loginless users have an instance login but not a db login since that goes via the application that impersonates a user?
There's no such thing as a database login (not in 2008 anyway)
Orphaned users are ones that should have an associated login, but don't because of the DB being moved. Loginless users never had an associated login and shouldn't have one.
