Would someone with an understanding of Latin translate this phrase for me? Many thanks!
"Every saint has a past, every sinner a future."

Omnis sanctus praeteritum sicut omnis peccator futurum tempum habet.

I don't think it can be done exactly. Here is a tentative version and I look forward to other ideas.
"Omnis sanctus veniam recepit, omnis peccator ad veniam invitatus est."
"Every saint has received forgiveness/grace, every sinner is invited to forgiveness/grace."

The saint has done things in their past, turned it around and became a saint. The sinner is heading where the saint was before he turned it around (hell).
