First one has to understand who Christ is.
Christ comes from the Greek word χριστός (chrīstós), meaning “anointed one”. The word is derived from the Greek verb χρίω (chrī́ō), meaning “to anoint.” In the Greek Septuagint, χριστός was a semantic loan used to translate the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ, messiah), meaning “[one who is] anointed”.
Paul came up with that term Christ at Antioch, before that in the old we who are anointed of Gods same Spirit of mind were referred to as Christos, saints.
The term saint is derived from the Latin word sanctus, meaning “holy” or “consecrated.” This is, in turn, a direct translation of the Greek word “άγιος” (hagios), which also means “holy.” In its original scriptural usage it simply means “holy” or “sanctified.”
And sanctified simply means to make holy; set apart as sacred; consecrate**
SO either one is that person of Christ anointed of Gods same Spirit of mind, or one is not, there is no in-between and it cannot be governed by mans laws from opinions. You are or you are not that person as Jesus became in Matt 3:16 when God Himself opened in that man Who He is and all of His heaven in that man just as He does in us all who become anointed by God Himself transforming a religious mind into a productive mind that of Love that God is and walks in it as He walks in it.
SO simple yet so difficult for a religious mind of laws to absorb. We are Christs – plural, and Christ is Gods. 1 Cor. 3;23. Jesus was Christ because he was anointed of God, Adam, Abraham, Moses Mary 120 all became that person anointed of Gods same mind, Spirit.
Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father ins heaven is perfect. Matt 5;48. Most see that as an impossibility and say, well’ Jesus was the only perfect child of God, and in that very statement eliminates them from being that person of Christ who is anointed of God Himself.
