Well then. I apologize. I thought you were still questioning it.

Oh, I was never questioning it in the first place and I absolutely apologize if I gave that impression. My issue was more with the popular conception of what constitutes a saint rather than with sainthood itself. Saints are not saints by mere virtue of what they have done, which, as I said, is the bare minimum of what God expects of us in the first place, but rather because of the deep faith towards which such acts point. I realize that as a Catholic you may disagree but I was merely expressing my viewpoint on the matter.

But woe unto me if I ever question the salvation of those who have expressed their faith in a far greater manner than I could ever hope to do!
