Exclamation Need A New Brake Caliper

OK I need a new front drivers side brake caliper, but when i go to the auto parts store and i've tried a few none of them know what the difference is in a loaded and unloaded caliper, and many can't tell me wether the part is the single piston on 4 piston. Advanced Auto Parts told me that the unloaded caliper for 45 bucks would be ready to go and bolt on, but if so thenh what is a loaded caliper and why is it like 50 dollars more? is the unloaded just the caliper with no pistons? The easiest way would be if anyone out there has the part number for the caliper from NAPA, Advanced Auto Parts, or autozone. I need my car back on the road ASAP

I believe a loaded caliper is with the pads and new hardware.
