and there is no such thing as a "Christian" saint. Roman Catholics have saints. A few other weirdos also have saints. "Christians" don't have saints.
BRTD, back me up here.
Anglicans, Orthodox, and Lutherans also have recognized saints. The vast majority of Christians follow a denomination with recognized saints. All the others have unrecognized saints.
A saint is someone who goes to Heaven.
For example, the Catholic Saints are just people the Catholic Church feels it can confirm definitely went to heaven.
While the theology about saint is the same in Lutheranism as in Catholism, how they're treated in Lutheran Churches are quite different from Catholic Churches, there's a reason why Catholics are seen as worshippers of saints (even if this is not correct theological) and it's not just because of Protestant propaganda.
