FAR from saints even if we are supposed to be considered saints.
In fact there will be a day when it could be considered an insult to the
legacy of real saints if people tarnish the
use of the word saint for every believer. I would say there are very few
saints among the people of the world. And we both know that faith and
language are always fluid and constantly evolving. Perhaps that
defination is at a crossroads of change.

In most Christian faiths, every believer is considered a saint.
