Normally, saint have to be beatified and canonized before declared as saint.
But yeah, saint is just normal human (at least during their life time) with holiness and closeness to god.
@sawr The saints here have actual supernatural powers of some sort, though. I don't think it's that weird if they started treating her like she wasn't exactly human, or even assumed a higher power was actually watching over stuff like her health anyway. They still probably should have caught on a little bit faster that their cash cow was dying even if all they cared about was the profits she helped rake in though, that's just assbackwards business sense.
