“I believe the Catholic Church uses the “two miracles” test simply as confirmation of sainthood.

The Bible calls all Christians saints! No miracles needed,
except the miracle of rebirth as a new creation. It only
happens while you are still alive. Once a man dies, it’s
too late for sainthood.

That’s quite a devaluation to broadly suggest that “all” Christians are saints. It’s the “life” of the Christian that matters who follows His teachings as handed down by scripture and tradition. Individuals who lead holy lives are saints but the “two miracles” test is again earthly “confirmation” of their sainthood.
