The suffix -- marks the person who does or professes the thing, so is anyone who uses the language, hobbyist or grandee alike. The Boulogne Declaration of 1905 defined it generously: an Esperantist is simply someone who knows and uses Esperanto, whatever they think about the rest of the movement. The warmer in-group word is , literally a person of the same idea, which carries a faint whiff of shared cause that does not. Add -in- for o if the sex matters, though most modern writers leave it off.
