The bible refers to all born again believers in Christ as “saints”.

Paul warned us against putting one over the other in deeds, or following one rather than another, emphasizing the importance of following Christ alone.

“sainthood” comes as a gift of God through His Son... not as a result of our own good works.

Thank you. Amen.

no free will?...no right to say NO to sin....or Yes to charity and morality?.....

sainthood IMO is achieved by the selfless living of a life for the glory of God, by helping those afflicted with poor health,poverty,ignorance,addiction,etc....

I don't think very many people can achieve that....that is why sainthood is rare, and to be desired...
