Transubstantiation

[Anchorman]

The 'born again' lot think that even the worst person is destined for heaven if they convert, yet the unsaved will go to hell, even if they are good people. Crazy or what? 

What's that goy
t to do with defining 'saint'?

[Enki]

"a very good persin"?
That's not even the definition of "Saint used by the RC, far less other churchws.
So you're using the erroneous definition of something you don't believe in to ascribe virtue?
Er..........

Actually I understood LR perfectly when she said, 'Even the very worst human is a saint compared to the Biblical depiction of god'. It seems I was right when she described what she meant by 'saint' as 'a very good person'. It doesn't mean that I necessarily agree with her, of course, but her definition seems to me to be quite adequate, when one considers that one of the dictionary definitions(e.g. The Cambridge Dictionary colloquial definition) is 'a very good, kind person'.

I genuinely don't see what all the fuss is about. You asked for a definition, she gave you one, and you seem to suggest that her definition is erroneous in some way, when a dictionary suggests that her meaning is completely acceptable.

Anchorperson is being unnecessarily pedantic, possibly deliberately to wind up LR (which is commendable, if so). As Enki said, the ordinary, everyday definition of "Saint" is an exceptionally good, kind person by ordinary human standards.

Charteris would agree with you as would, no doubt, Lowry.
