I find no reference in the Bible about becoming a saint after one's death. T"he BIBLE calls all real Christians Saints. The BIBLE is an inspired writing of GOD, our FATHER. HIS WORD counts, no other seems nearly as important on earth or in heaven.
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
HEAR - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
BELIEVE - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
REPENT - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
CONFESS CHRIST - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
BE BAPTIZED - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

Saint Francis of Assisi was a wealthy man who gave it all up to help the poor and the needy. He dealt with people who had contagious diseases without ever fearing for his life. He basically gave his life to help others in the name of God...that's why hes a saint. That's what 10 years of catholic school will do to you!

The Catholic Church has rules for declaring people saints. Things like: are their miracles claimed in their name. The process usually takes a while, but with Mother Teresa they sped up the process because she was so popular.

Basically the Church stole Francis' monastary right out from under him and the sainthood was a posthumous attempt to make amends for their shabby treatment of him while he was alive.
