All Angels Are Saints

Question:

Why are some angels saints?

Answer:

The word saint comes from the Latin word sanctus, which means “holy.” We used the title “saint” before the names of those we know are in heaven.

The Bible reveals the names of only three angels: Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. They are referred to with “saint” before their name because they are holy and are in heaven. We do not know the names of the other angels and do not attempt to name them, but they are all saints.
