Yes, I'm a saint.

Saints are all believers in Christ. It is a title for all God’s people but applied in some contexts to a small group seen as the most dedicated ones.

Saints are NOT perfect...the Catholic idea of naming someone as a saint is not correct.

Are you a Saint? No

What is a Saint?
-a person who has died and has been declared a saint by canonization
person of exceptional holiness
enshrine: hold sacred
ideal: model of excellence or perfection of a kind; one having no equal
canonize: declare (a dead person) to be a saint; "After he was shown to have performed a miracle, the priest was canonized"

In general, the term Saint refers to someone who is exceptionally virtuous and holy. It can be applied to both the living and the dead and is an acceptable term in most of the world's popular religions. The Saint is held up by the community as an example of how we all should act, and his or her life story is usually recorded for the edification of future generations.

Who is?
Joan of Arc
St. Peter

I am a saint because I was baptised in Jesus' name and received the holy ghost which was evidenced with speaking in tongues. Those who are born again through this process are saints. Read Acts 1 and 2

I was born on All Saints Day so I think that makes me a saint by default...

You have to be dead to be a saint. A saint is someone who dies and goes directly to heaven. No purgatory. Most baptized people die in sin (not mortal sin) and so need to be cleansed (for a short time) before entering heaven. If you die in unconfessed mortal sin (murder, fornication, adultery, blasphemy, unbaptized, evil ways) you go to hell.

It is virtually impossible to tell who is a saint and who isn't since this would only personally be known between the person and God. Canonization goes a way in this regard by attributing miraculous works to a good person who has died.

If you go by what the discarnate Saints in the Higher Realms of Spirit dictate what Sainthood truly implies (i.e., straight from The Source), then it is anyone who has a Dominant Aura Color of sky blue or white.

People of this nature generally do not adhere to any one traditional religious faith, are eclectic, selfless, individualistic, disciplined, strongly believe in The Golden Rule, and are independent thinkers.

A saint can transform your life into one worth living. . .I think there are Saints in India, but what do I know?

A saint is someone who supposedly does no wrong and puts others before themselves.
I don't think anyone is a saint onthis earth. Mother Theresa, maybe.

I am a saint, and so are you, if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior. It does not mean someone who is particularly holy, but someone who is letting the Holy Spirit change him for the better. Usually in the Bible it is used in the plural to mean the church of God.
