No, they are not. "Membranous sac" is a descriptive term that can refer to a number of different structures, whereas a chloroplast is a clearly defined organelle with a clearly defined function (photosynthesis)

There are membranous sacs found inside chloroplasts that are called thylakoids, which form the grana (singular "granum"). The thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll and other pigments to trap energy from incoming light.
