The definition for con is broad enough to encompass anyone with any relation to having done crime. They don't have to be convicted. Ex-con, though, does require conviction and serving out the sentence.
Can you give an example sentence for 'cons'? "This city is full of cons." "Some cons came and stole a cig right out of my mouth." Something like that?
