If you go to a Catholic school, you are surrounded by Christians. I guess you mean you are a Protestant? What do you mean you don't believe in saints? You don't believe in heaven? You don't believe in being saved by the blood of Jesus? Well Catholics do believe in these truths, just as they have believed ever since Jesus Christ founded our Church 2,000 years ago (who founded yours?); and people who are in heaven as a result of being saved by the blood of Jesus are called saints, just as they have always been called. Do you doubt that Paul is saved? If, not, why would you doubt that he is a saint?

"To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH ALL HIS SAINTS" (1 Thessalonians 3:13)

When I went to Catholic school, they taught us capitalization and punctuation.

In some areas where the public schools are very bad some parents of non-Catholics send their kids to Catholic schools for an education. I remember a guy who was not Catholic but went to a Catholic school in D.C. (don't know if their parents have to lie to get them in or what, but they are out there).

Non-Catholics have always been welcome to send their children to Catholic schools providing the school has extra capacity. The tuition is higher for them and they have to go through the religion classes learning about Catholicism as part of their education.

Try this link Katie. http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/ It's an online version of the New American Bible which is a Catholic Bible. I'm not sure it ever refers to Paul in the text as "Saint Paul", since the term "saint" was used generically to refer to all Christians, living and dead, in that age.
