The saints in your opinion would be whom? Does mother Theresa fit the Bill? She saved so many sick, poor and helpless.

Nope...

Does John Paul 2 who fought the Godless communists from the pulpit while in Poland and risked soviet reprisals for his faith count ?

Not in the least...

Maybe Martin Luther because he nailed his thesis to the cathedral?

Not for that reason...

In my RC parochial grade school, we were taught that saints were the people who made it to heaven. Those are the only saints. All others including those who have been given the title ‘Saint’. Are only given a title here on earth. They may or may not really be saints.

You were taught wrong...No one knows who made it to heaven...It may be that none of your popes are in heaven...

There's a reason you Catholic students were never taught from a bible...

Php_1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

That's because the bible proves your religion wrong on so many counts...Paul was talking to Saints in a specific town...

No you are wrong. (Wow that was easy. I just made a moral determination based on my personal disapproval of your religion)

I would not have entered this discourse if the evangelical Protestants weren’t so obnoxiously, not only ‘right’ about everything, but feel they must brow beat all that do not follow their beliefs to the T.

I really have no problem with the way others worship, unless they try to kill me and mine like the Islamics....or who are so holier than thou, that they must call me wrong and/or damned about my way of worship.

You really need to get a life so you can let others live theirs.
