Is a declaration of sanctity a solemn, infallible definition of Faith?

Is a declaration of sanctity a "doctrine concerning faith or morals"?

I don't think so. How about you?

The formal declaration format used to canonize would seem to say yes, a statement of finding of sanctity by Pope would be infallible.

Believe that is substatiated by the historical fact that early “saints” not declared by that formula and only be bishops xare the iffy ones now.
