Only indirectly. We can do things that allow God to make us holy. And we can do things that prevent God from making us holy. But it is His grace that makes us holy, not our own efforts. At least in the Catholic Church. I can't speak for others.

No. Only a Holy God can make you Holy. The Bible tells you how.

Only through "clothing ourselves in Christ" does God see us as holy; that's the only way to get into heaven, to be perfect with a perfect God.
We're not perfect. We mess up.
We need Jesus.

read the small catechism of Martin Luther, what does it say about making ourselves Holy?

Nothing we can do can make us holy, only the blood of Jesus.

since technically holy means set apart, sure, in any number of ways, from removing oneself from society to just being different from everyone else...
