Nonsense.
Stop splitting hairs.
NOBODY believed exactly what you believe, today, during the first 1,500 years of the Christian Faith.
You waste way too much time with word games.
I do not pretend to be an expert in translations, or in very many other languages.
However, I am sure that you are not any expert, either.

Ok then, since you're not an expert either according to what you say, my view is this:

"In many Protestant churches, the word "saint" is used more generally to refer to anyone who is a Christian. This is similar in usage to Paul's numerous references in the New Testament of the Bible. In this sense, anyone who is within the Body of Christ (i.e., a professing Christian) is a 'saint' because of their relationship with Christ Jesus. Because of this, many Protestants consider prayers to the saints to be idolatry or even necromancy. Dead Christians are awaiting resurrection, and are not able to do anything for the living saint."

Within some Protestant traditions, "saint" is also used to refer to any born-again Christian. Many emphasis the traditional New Testament meaning of the word, preferring to write "saint" to refer to any believer, in continuity with the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

I don’t understand why a non-Catholic would object to Catholics naming certain individuals saints.

I certainly couldn’t care less about the non-Catholics’ self-proclaimed “Prophets of God” and their messages.
