Doesn't that mean that those who practice faith and are not recognized don't go to heaven?

Nope.

Nope.

So you would have no problem being called a 'saint'? I thought the church canonized one as a saint.

The reason I question this is that I see the scriptures say "To the Saints in Ephesus", "The saints in Phillipi", these would be living saints and at that time not canonized by anyone. Thus we who believe in Christ are consider saints according to the New Testament. Is this not correct?
