As for my second question, the Bible no where says that you specifically are a saint. You are in fact, quite egotistic, and rather annoying at this point. 🙄

It is by virtue of our position in Christ (i.e. as believers).1 Corinthians 1:2
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:You do realize that the New Testament was written to believers don't you? There were believers in Corinth just like there are believers every where else in the world. We are called saints.

Christians are saints in the non-colloquial sense of the word--a title, rather than an adjective expressing characteristics of sainthood according to our culture.

Saints and canonized saints are two different things. Canonized saints are simply considered especially commendable and holy Christians (all Christians are saints) that deserve veneration and are considered powerful intercessor's because of their righteousness according to the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition.

I wonder if JIA will listen to a fellow Christian. He didn't listen to me, when I told him the same thing. 😉
Wait, he probably thinks you are a demon or something. 😆

JESUSISALIVEHOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE SANCTIFIED BY CHRIST, BUT THAT CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS ARE NOT
I never said that Catholics and Orthodox individuals were not sanctified. I simply maintain that I am a saint.
Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit.
Why do you persist in referring to Catholics as Christians? Christians are Christians and Catholics are Catholics.

As Jesus, I declare you don't know crap.
Catholicism and Christianity is the same thing.
