Is there a Saint named Lynne?
There are probably many saints named Lynne but the Catholic Church has not canonized any of them yet. Remember saints are people in heaven or on their way to heaven. All Christians dead and alive are saints. The Catholic Church justs selects some of the most extraordinary examples, does in-depth research, and canonizes them. "By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God's grace, the Church recognizes the power of the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors." For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 828 (see link) With love in Christ.
How does the church define faith?
From the Glossary of The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994:Faith: both a gift of God and a human act by which the believer gives personal adherence to God who invites his response, and freely assents to the whole truth that God has revealed. It is this revelation of God which the Church proposed for our belief, and which we profess in the Creed, celebrate in the sacraments, live by right conduct that fulfills the twofold commandment of charity (as specified in the Ten Commandments), and respond to in our prayer of faith. Faith is both a theological virtue given by God as grace, and an obligation which flows form the first commandment of God (CCC 26, 142, 150, 1814, 2087).

Is it likely that the Catholic Church has been able to canonize all of holy men and women who have lived lives of heroic virtue?
Not likely, nor possible. Canonization means that the Church recognizes that such and such a person has led a life of heroic virtue, and is in heaven, so that we are able to imitate them, and ask for their prayers. Many more people can get into heaven and probably already have without the Church ever declaring them a saint.

What does infallibility mean when referring to the Roman Catholic Pope?
Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. You can refer to the "Roman Pontiff" meaning the Pope in Rome, but you shouldn't refer to the "Roman" Catholic Church, just the Catholic Church. .Infallibility is quite limited, it is freedom from error in teaching the universal Church in matters of faith or morals. As defined by the First Vatican Council:The Roman Pontiff, when he speaks ex cathedra-that is, when in discharge of the office of pastor and teacher of all Christians, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, de defines a doctrine regarding faith or morals to be held by the universal Church, by the divine assistance promised to him in Blessed Peter, is possessed of that infallibility with which the divine Redeemer willed that his Church should be endowed in defining doctrine regarding faith or morals; and therefore such definitions are irreformable of themselves, and not in virtue of consent of the Church" (Denzinger 3074).from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994891 "The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful - who confirms his brethren in the faith - he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals . . . The infallibility promised to the Church is also present in the body of bishops, when, together with Peter's successor, they exercise the supreme Magisterium," above all in an Ecumenical Council. (Lumen Gentium 25; cf. Vatican Council I: Denzinger-Schönmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 3074) When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine "for belief as being divinely revealed," (Dei Verbum 10 § 2) and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions "must be adhered to with the obedience of faith." (Lumen Gentium 25 § 2) This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself. (Cf. Lumen Gentium 25)
