If Pope John Paul II died in the state of grace, he is a "saint." If he did not, then he is not a "saint."

What he did during his life is irrelevant to whether he is a "saint" because it's the state of a man's soul at death that is the determining factor. Example: Saint Dismas.

In the last few days of his life, I assume that Pope John Paul II was aware that he was dying. I don't know why he wouldn't; everybody else in the world knew it.

And I also assume that he made a confession and was anointed, although I have no firsthand knowledge of that.

If he did those things, however, and died in the state of grace, what does that make him now?
