The Bible doesn’t even teach sainthood as the Catholic church practices it.

In Scripture the term *saint* is used to identify ANY believer, not those canonized by the RCC. There is no precedent for that teaching or practice.

“In Scripture the term *saint* is used to identify ANY believer, not those canonized by the RCC.”

Then you should be able to cite the scripture passage that says that all believers are saints.
