Saint or sinners?

Here's a question....

As a Christian am I a saint?

OR am I a sinner?

Can I be a saint and sinner at the same time?

You see, I know I sin, surely that makes me a sinner....
But, also I know that God calls me to become more like Christ (Phil 2) , who in very nature was and is sinless...

any answers??

Both is what we are....
Luther helpful oringinated the view that we can never be solely one or the other.... We are simultaneously righteous and sinner (here's the latin bit! - Simul Iustus et Peccator).
Romans 7 keeps us from indulging either either extremes...
Jon, so until we make it home to heaven we'll always be both!
