In Santería, the equivalent of Saint Judas Thaddeus is often associated with the orisha known as Oshun. Both figures are invoked for assistance in difficult situations and are considered patrons of lost causes. Oshun embodies qualities of love, fertility, and healing, paralleling the traits associated with Saint Judas Thaddeus in Catholicism. Devotees may turn to Oshun for guidance and support in times of need.

Judas, the betrayer of Our Lord, is not a saint.
The real name of St. Jude is Judas, but he is also know as Thaddaeus. He is not the same Judas who betrayed Jesus, but was also an Apostle. He is called St. Jude by the Church so he is not associated with Judas Iscariot.

Judas in not a saint.
Judas Thaddeus, also known as Jude, was likely named a saint because he was one of Jesus' twelve apostles, known for spreading the teachings of Christianity. He is considered the patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations, and many people believe in his intercession for help in difficult circumstances.
No, Judas who betrayed Our Lord is not a saint.
Thaddeus is usually thought of as the other name for Saint Judas (not Judas Iscariot) the disciple. Many people do not realise that there were two Judas's among the disciples - Judas Iscariot who betryed Jesus, and Saint Judas son of James. The problems of confusion surrounding St Judas meant that he became eventually known as St Jude and often called Thaddeus instead, and became the patrion saint of Lost Causes. It was quite common in those days for people to use more than one name (Jesus/Emmanuel, Simon/Peter, Matthew/Levi, Saul/Paul etc) and so this dual nomenclature is not unusual. However,some scholars do not accept that Jude was the same person as Thaddeus, relegating Thaddeus to one of the 72 'outer' crowd as opposed to the inner group of 12 disciples. Others claim that the '12' and the '72' were approximations, and there might have been 13 or even 14 disciples to take account of different names (e.g. Matthew/Levi) and Thaddeus would have been one of the 'extras', and 70-80 others rather than the 72, but this is rather far-fetched. Jewish culture bestowed great importance on numbers (12 tribes of israel etc) and so the numbers 12 and 72 (12 times half of 12) would have been very significant. So it seems that the likelihood is that Thaddeus was the other name given for Jude.
