Best Answer

The Greek word for "Saint" in the New Testament is "hagiois" and it refers to ALL believers in Jesus Christ. In The Bible, the word does NOT mean a departed person who was extraordinarily holy in life. All Christians, if they truly express a faith in Jesus Christ, are called "saints" in the Bible (see Ephesians 1:1-2).
