loyalty vs fidelity

My comment:

Loyalty is felt towards an institution or a friend. You turn out loyally every year to a reunion for example. You could be a loyal customer of a particular shop. Fidelity is faithfulness. To my mind, loyalty is a feeling that can be proven from time to time whereas fidelity is more practical and is borne out in one's life. Par excellence by a couple being faithful to each other. It would be too strong to talk about fidelity towards a business or institution.
