[Tlhingan-hol] Religious terminology

Depends on whether you're Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox. In the Protestant view, every believer is a saint. In the Catholic view, a saint is, as far as I know, a person who has died, is considered particularly holy, and has been officially declared a saint. The Orthodox view is probably similar but I don't know much about it.

I understood that a saint was a Christian who in early times did something recognized as very holy, not merely "a member of the church, a fellow believer or follower".
Some saints were the first man who successfully preached Christiuanity in an area, e.g. St. Patrick in Ireland, or St.David in Wales.
Some saints were martyrs for their faith, e.g. St.Stephen who was stoned  to death.

A saint is a member of the church, a fellow believer or follower.
While I've seen {quvwI'pu'} used here before, and used it myself, you may want to consider playing around with
{chuD} people, kin, member of the same group or tribe or clan
{tuqnIgh} a member of one's house
{vInDa'} compatriot, community member, cohort, fellow citizen
