Saints
NEVER use ਸੰਤ. The Sant tradition is a living, institutionally active category in Punjab today (Sant-led deras and followings are a prominent feature of contemporary Punjabi religious life, alongside the historic Sant-mat/Bhagat tradition embedded in the Guru Granth Sahib itself). Calling every believer a ਸੰਤ would suggest each is an enlightened, guru-like holy figure with a following, not an ordinary believer set apart by God as Paul intends.
