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.
Lutherans don't recognize saints in the same way that Catholics, Anglicans, or Orthodox Christians do. They have a liturgical calendar to honor them, but they don't generally refer to them as "St. <Blank>", and they don't venerate them the way Catholics do. One of the co-pastors at my uncle's church, for instance, describes the word "saint" as having a dual meaning, both to refer to Christians known for their courageous faith, and also to refer to believers in general.
Simply put, while they honor certain individuals, they don't generally identify them as saints.
