According to the New Testament scriptures, everyone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, IS A SAINT.
No church is able to confer that designation upon a person.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Are you reading KING JAMES Bible?? Didn’t King James CHANGE a LOT of wording because Henry VIII got rid of the Catholic Faith in England because he divorced his wives and beheaded some!!! Just asking.
In canonization, the Church recognizes that a person is already in heaven as a saint. It does not make someone into a saint.
Does that answer your question?
