No, a martyr is one who suffers or dies for their faith a saint is a person who has, after death, performed miracles and is canonized.
Saints Columba, Eulogius, Leocritia, and Flora of Cordoba and Mary of Cordoba are martyrs of Cordoba who were canonized.

Martyrs are witnesses.
Saint: The word saint is a translation of a Greek word also rendered "holy," the fundamental idea being that of consecration or separation for a sacred purpose; but since what was set apart for God must be without blemish, the word came to mean "free from blemish", whether physical or moral. In the NT the saints are all those who by baptism have entered into the Christian covenant.

There were many martyrs in every nation and religion, but I think only the Christian ones are considered saints. All the believers in Revelation are called saints and they were not all martyrs.

All martyrs are not saints
Only those who have public sentiment with them and those approved by religion are saints

No all martyrs are definitely not saints. Most saints weren't even saints.

No... if you're talking about Catholic saints, then martyrs have to have documented miracles attributed to them in order to be considered for beatification by the church. No miracles, no sainthood.
