I don't know, for like I just told you, the only thing that I know about saints is that they're all dead.

We have a an entire church full of living ones. in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Faithful members of Jesus Christ's church are known as saints.

Oh? They're actual saints? I just thought that's what the name of the church was. I didn't realize that its members were saints. Lol you can really tell how little that I know about this.

That is true. Unless one is referring to the communion of saints - which in Christian theology - is the spiritual union of all Christians, living and dead, who are baptized and united to Jesus Christ.... as Meriweather so aptly and accurately informed us.
