ok..let me rephrase my question..
what are some ways that we are saint like??

Hmm...that's a very interesting question? Now, by "we", do you mean all humanity, or believers, or those in your church or group? I'll assume the first.
At first, I thought that there is no way that all of us human beings are saintlike. Too many of us are evil. However, Jesus said that "even you, bad as you are, know how to give good things to your children". So, here's one: nearly all of us, at least some of the time, try to be good and loving to our families.
Here's another way: in one way, we are all children of God. We are all made in God's image, and he means us to be his sons and daughters.
We all have an imprint of God, a divine spark, within us. (Notice that I didn't say that we are all saved by God.)
I think that's enough for now.

We are more so given the potential to be saints by means of free-will, hence why we can also be the opposite, consider them as more of an example

Sorry, but we are not all saints.
Psalm 14:1-4
1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.
3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.
4 Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord?
Romans 3:10-18
10 as it is written:
"None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands; no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."
13 "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."
14 "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known."
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

We are all Saints because we are all children of god

We are all saints because we listen to each other and try to comprehend and understand each other to better our planet.

According to Christ we are all saints because we all have God within us.

I guess you could say we were born saintly or Innocent especially with our: "First Cry" The ability to shed tears can be a form of saintliness.
