Oh my! This is a question that could have a very long answer depending on what view a person has. Let me stick to the biblical use of the word saint. A saint is a person who has accepted Jesus into his or her life. A saint is a person who has become holy in the eyes of God. Holy does not mean perfect. A saint has a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul calls Christians saints. For example in the books of Philippians and Colossians Paul says he is writing to the Saints in these particular places. Other places these saints (Christians) are describes as people who have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

The apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 says the first and formost characteristic is love. If we do all sorts of wonderful things but don't have love it is all useless.
