The Church is going to continue to choose its as its saints those who are examples of exceptional degrees of holiness, sanctity, and virtue based on the outward appearances of the Gifts and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.
I'm sure they are. Doesn't mean they're saved though.

Only God knows for sure, but those with an abundance of the Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit are a far better bet than the wicked, the evil, and the indifferent.
Peace be with you
