It is good that Denver has streets named after saints.

All who seek salvation in YHvH are called saints.

See the Holy Word of Elohim:
Ps. 16:3; 34:9; Dan. 7:18, 21, 25, 27; Matt. 27:52; Acts 9:13, 32,
41; 26:10; Rom. 1:7; 8:27; 12:13; 15:25f, 31; 16:2, 15; 1 Co. 1:2; 6:1f;
14:33; 16:1, 15; 2 Co. 1:1; 8:4; 9:1, 12; 13:13; Eph. 1:1, 15, 18; 2:19; 3:8,
18; 4:12; 5:3; 6:18; Phil. 1:1; 4:22; Col. 1:2, 4, 12, 26; 1 Thess. 3:13; 2
Thess. 1:10; Phlm. 1:5, 7; Heb. 6:10; 13:24; Jude 1:3; Rev. 5:8; 8:3f; 11:18;

In Christian tradition though, the word came to mean those properly canonized by the Church.

You’re right, New Testament use of “saints” is in reference to all Christians.

Some have tried to change the meaning since then. I prefer to use the term in the sense the Bible does.
