Not dead saints. Not those who are canonised or beatified years after their death. Paul and Peter are living examples. Not by worldly institution. Opus Dei was not a saint in the Roman Catholic establishment, let alone to be true believer of Christ according to the bible.
Any title conferred after death has no power to save from a lost eternity.
Christians are not judgmental in pointing out the truth. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of jesus Christ. Paul called his listeners brethren. They are not separated by ranks. All are saints, and sons of the living God.
