I can’t do this with you now.

The point of my note is to demonstrate that not every believer is a saint.

Yes, every believer is a saint. In Scripture, the word believer is used to describe someone who has put their faith in Christ for salvation and is saved.

Here’s a keyword search for the word *believer* as used in the NT.

The word *believer* is never used to describe someone who simply acknowledges God with intellectual assent or to describe demons although they know God exists.
