Ablazed Of course there will be saints in the future! Christians are called to be saints - that is, people who are in communion with God. We are all supposed to be saints! And there will always been Saints (with a capital "S") - those are people who have died and are with God in Heaven, having gone through the purification process of purgatory after death. The Church will probably recognize Mother Teresa as a Saint soon, as well as Pope John Paul II. Saints are hardy a thing of the past.
To avoid any confusion on anyone's part, I propose when we talk about saints we mean devout Christians that are living, and when we talk about Saints we mean devout Christians who have died (St. Thomas Aquinas, etc.) Concensus?

If you want to know why, PM me (fairly long explanation).
I also believe that as soon as someone becomes a Christ follower, and after said person is baptized[/], (s)he is already a Saint. Jesus Himself told us that we are Priests as well. But, remember that Jesus is the High Priest.
