“...If she wasn’t a saint when she died she won’t become one now...”
This is true. Everyone who makes it to heaven is a saint. Beatified saints are recognized so their lives as extraordinary followers of Christ can inspire us.
Obviously she was a true believer in Christ.

“Obviously she was a true believer in Christ.”
Lots of non-believers do good things. Salvation comes from entrusting oneself totally in faith to Christ’s sacrifice. Did she? We can hope so.

Matthew 7:22-23 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. Miracles attributed to someone is no guarantee that they were even a believer.
