Sheesh, how ignorant of meanings can one get? The Catholic Church doesn't state that the one's declared by the Church as Saints are the be-all and end-all of all saints? These are just the ones who are known and are put up as role-models. The Church acknowledges there to be others, that's why you have all Saints day for the "unknown warriors". Sure, you two may be among those people. If you pass away without everyone knowing you are a saint, no big deal, you have got your reward. If people DO get to know about your life and deeds, think of the inspiration it would be, THAT's why we have Catholic saints.

You're living in a glass house there bud.

Then they should call them role models. Scripturally, all believers are saints.

Merry Christmas.
