If a rank order is to be insisted upon, I would say he has it backwards. Seems to me that a definition of 'hero' in the Faith could be 'living martyrdom', a station to which the western Baha'is are called and few attain, and to which I would assign the Hands of the Cause. As to saint, I have no problem assigning this station to Bahiyyih Khanum. But beyond that, I think all others are speculative. (I don't think it is appropriate to assign Abdu'l-Baha or Shoghi Effendi to this station, as they are each in a category of their own.)
