You are correct. The cult of Rome added this canonization of people to its growing list of errant theology. Such inordinate adoration of people operates to create a class distinction controlled by headquarters.
But, you are absolutely right. The Scriptures calls every born again believer in Jesus Christ, a saint. The question really becomes, how many relying on and associated with Rome have been born again? Watch the fur fly now.
Ah, the spirit of egalitarianism in "Reformed" Christianity, the same that flowed through the French Revolution and communism.

Uh, no.
“Such inordinate adoration of people operates to create a class distinction controlled by headquarters.”
No adoration takes place. The saints are venerated. Also, veneration of saints is certainly not “controlled” by “headquarters”. Clearly you know little about the saints or how people have looked at them over the centuries.
“But, you are absolutely right. The Scriptures calls every born again believer in Jesus Christ, a saint. The question really becomes, how many relying on and associated with Rome have been born again? Watch the fur fly now.”
All people baptized properly are born again. Period. How they live after that is their choice.
Where in Scripture does the term "born again" appear?
