I’m not Catholic either but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t easily explain what a saint is. All Christians are saints.

See how easy that was?

Ditto. I'm no longer a practicing Catholic (I'm a Christian, attend a Christian church) so I'm not comfortable "speaking out" against what the Catholic Church is doing.

The Catholic Church and its members should be as free as I am to practice my faith in Christ without intervention from other denominations.

Something about "removing the plank from one's own eye before attempting to remove it from other's (eyes)" is appropriate here IMO.

“I’m not Catholic and its not my place to try to impose my beliefs on them.”

All born-again Christians are saints, and that’s clear in the Bible. When saints are referred to in the Bible, the reference always is to all the Christians.

Making up stuff to decree pretend “saints” is not scriptural in any way. It’s like the Wizard handing out courage. Stating what’s correct is not “imposing your beliefs on them”; it’s doing the right thing. Trying to FORCE someone to believe a certain way would be wrong, but simply stating the truth is a Christian’s duty. Just remember that people will have to answer for opportunities to spread the Gospel that they didn’t take.

I tell them the truth here in FR, each time a thread is posted that perverts God’s use of the word
“saint.”

God addresses every believer who has entrusted herself to Christ as Savior is a saint. To pervert that to mean something else, for any reason - good or evil - is wrong.

Should the church be teaching people the silent way to pray and come to God as taught at the fhu.com? Who the heck cares about who is a saint and who isn’t when the people dying for the pathway that the church has lost! good grief!
