And again we see Roman Catholicism departing from the NT is establishing a separate set of believers. When in the NT those who believe in Christ are called saints.

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus Ephesians 1:1 NASB

1Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons Philippians 1:1 NASB

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. Colossians 1:1-2 NASB

I have the Book of Saints. Saint Moses is first.
