    no and yes. I think the Christians that do it use the same rules for recognition but don’t require the Pope’s declaration

      I can’t imagine most protestant denominations have the organizational and bureaucratic capacity for catholic sanctification. It looks like Anglicans kept the pre split saints and then created a new category of heroes and they seem to do their own thing for it. That’s the most similar protestant denomination to catholicism.

      It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where the baptists are organizing enough to do a trial where evidence for and against sainthood are presented. Also the concept of saints is entirely Tradition so it violates sola scriptura
