True. If the church declares someone a saint (that is, they declare that soul is in Heaven), then evidence is sought after. Miracles, performed by God, are assumed to be indicative of the soul being in Heaven, because God would not “smile upon” a soul not in Heaven with His Presence. God would not lead people astray.

Scripture declares all believers saints.
The church can not add additional conditions to God’s declaration.
Even the magicians performed the same miracles God wrought through Moses.
There is one standard of sainthood - saving faith in Christ. Simple as that.
Best.
