The answer depends on whether "saint" is to be understood in the Roman Catholic sense or in the Biblical sense. Roman Catholic doctrine reserves the title "saint" to those who have been recognized as such by the Roman Catholic Church and declared so by the Pope. Not being Roman Catholic, I don't know when this was declared with regard to John. The Bible applies the word "saint" to all believers in Christ. Even though people are not holy (saint means holy person), through faith in Christ they are declared holy ("justified") and treated as holy by God. In Bible usage the word applies to both living and deceased believers. In Biblical usage, then, John became Saint John when he came to faith in Jesus as his Savior.
