Seems a bit proprietary.
Quote:
A saint is a particularly holy person, recognized by fellow believers as someone who lived a divine life and who is in the Divine presence after death. The term is used within Christianity, with definitions varying by denomination, but English-language publications will sometimes use saint to describe a revered person from another religion. The word itself means "holy" and is derived from the Latin sanctus. The concept originates in early Greek Christian literature with the use of the word hagios (Greek άγιος meaning "holy" or "holy one") and in the New Testament, where it is used to describe the followers of Jesus of Nazareth. (In the Old Testament, the word cognate to "holy" is the Hebrew word qodesh, קדש)

Other religions also recognize certain individuals as having particular holiness or enlightenment.

Ohhhk, how do you objectively measure someone's holyness? It seems a bit of a strange system.
