Pending Review or Draft? What’s the Difference in WordPress?

What exactly is the difference between "Pending Review" and "Draft" in WordPress? The difference really matters for users who do not have many permissions on your site. A good example is the "Contributor" role.
When a Contributor writes a post, they only see the "Save Draft" and "Submit for "Review" options. They do not see the "Publish" button. Contributors don't have permission to publish posts. So for the Contributor, there is a very real difference between these two statuses:
- Draft means "I'm still working on this post. It's not ready yet".
- Pending Review means "I think this post is ready for someone else to approve and publish".
