Sorry I wasn’t very being clear - I was born and raised in the church. I was trying to distinguish that Mormon term “saints” doean not match what most religions define the word to mean. In fact growing up we were taught Catholics and other faiths that “worship” saints or pray to them is wrong.

Sorry I wasn’t too clear.
