It depends on your definition of a sinner. People have different ideas about it.
Sinner. Everyone is a sinner because they inherit the sin nature from the first Adam.
All have sinned somewhere & somehow so is a sinner.
Sinners abide in sin. Make it a comfortable habit.
People sin but don't abide in sin once they have been born of God because of the Holy Seed within.
Once a person is born of God, person is Holy. Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
When a person is Holy, then person is a Saint.
Holy and Saint mean the same thing.
So since I am born of God, I call myself a saint. The sin nature is overcome. Who are those that overcome? Those that are born of God. So I am not a sinner, because I cannot abide in sin (make it a comfortable habit). God looks at me when I pray to God in Spirit & Truth, and He sees the righteousness of Jesus. God doesn't look at me as a sinner any more. So why should I look at myself that way. I know I sin sometimes, but Jesus blood covers my unknown sin. The Holy Spirit convicts me when necessary where I repent and He is faithful & just to forgive me my sin & cleanse me of all unrighteousness.
So, I consider myself a Saint.

All the Saints were sinners before they became a Saint so for right now I am a sinner.

i in my view do attempt to be good each and every of the time, yet i'm human, so being a Saint isn't possible besides. I gave up being an entire blown sinner some years in the past - now I purely think of roughly being a sinner as quickly as I permit myself get extremely indignant.

I consider myself both. Throughout scripture the Christian is referred to as a saint. Romans, I Corinthians, Ephesian.
We are also know that all men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
So all saints are sinners. They are just saved sinners. The grace of God sees to it that as I walk in the light as He is in the light I am continually cleansed of my sins.

I'm more of a sinner than a saint!
When I would do good, I can't...because...there is evil all around me!
Seriously though...we have all sinned and fallen short of God's expectations for us individually and collectively!
Maybe...when my judgement comes and my name is found in the Book of Life, I'll be a saint.
But...hard as I may try...not until that time!

The worst sinner. If you were my friend, I would say you are the sinner next to me.
I have thankfully learnt that God bestows on me unnumerable good things for me to know Him and to worship Him. I really enjoy my life. But I have not practiced sufficient selfless love to lessen the sufferings of other people and helping them to become more God-fearing and more happy.

Both!
I am a sinner- and will be until I get to HEAVEN-- soon.
I am a Saint. ALL True Christians are SAINTS! It's in The Bible.

Bill,
I consider myself and everyone else in this world a sinner! No living person on this earth is perfect, we all make mistakes daily and will always make mistakes because we are not perfect. We ask God to forgive us of the sins that we commit daily and we try not to do them again, but its not that easy! God knows we are not perfect!
Blessings, Mare~

A sinner because even though I am a good, decent person, I make mistakes everyday. I don't believe that anyone if free of sin.
