Saints meaning believers/born again Christians...does not mean good dead catholics.


Actually, in the first century, the term "saint" referred exclusively to good and dead Christians. And Webster's defines the word "saint" the following way:

quote:

a person acknowledged as holy or virtuous and typically regarded as being in heaven after death

Also...the oldest Christian denominations in the world all believe in the intercessions of the saints, as does Judaism - the religion Christianity spun off of. This idea that the dead in heaven cannot pray for us is a purely modern invention.

Go read some of Pauls letter where he states that believers are Saints. You make a valid point but going off of the Bible's terminology and definition, not Websters to be fair.
