“True. You have a good understanding of Catholic doctrine. “
And yet, I never hear them teach their members that every Christian is a saint.
You should come around more.
May I invite you to join my RCIA class?
One would be, all those who belong to Jesus Christ. All His Church are saints. You and me too I hope.
Another would be, the saints gone on to heaven.
A third would be, he latter whose lives have been examined and have been recognized as people of heroic virtue, recommended as examples to the whole Christian community, i.e. canonized.
We are not all going to be canonized, but there are many, many more Christians in heaven than the canonized. Canonization does not change their status in heaven, where he last will be first, and the first last.
