well see it is that if i ever become a holy figure (most likely after i die) i just wouldnt feel right being called a saint it is a christian word and i feel that you would have to be named a saint by the catholic church to be a saint and i will never become a sain by there standards.

"The term saint is derived from the Latin word "sanctus" meaning "holy" or "consecrated". This is a direct translation from the Greek word "άγιοÏ" (hagios), also meaning "holy". In its original scriptural usage it simply means "holy" or "sanctified". In this form it can be applied to a "holy" person, a place (άγιον ÏÏοÏ; The Holy Mountain, Athos), a thing — such as Scripture itself (αγιογÏάÏικα — "Holy Writing"), or even God (άγιον ÏνεÏμα - The Holy Spirit). But very soon the early Christians began to using the term "Saint" more narrowly to refer to a specific, exemplary individual. "
some synonyms for holy: sacred, consecrated, sanctified, hallowed, blessed, divine. Similar word: righteous

"your honor", just kidding, brother or sister would be respectful and appropriate. Many church members refer to one another as brothers or sister "in Christ".
Blessed Theresa also sounds like a pretty good title, follow your heart, and speak from it.
God Bless You
You have no idea what your future holds, you very well may be a "vessel of God". If God wants you to be a Saint, by anyone's standards, you will be. Peace
