Acts 9:32 — Who are “saints”?

Some devout believers in Yeshua (Jesus) think they can never call themselves “holy” or “saints” because they still sin. So why does God and His servants apply such terms frequently to those who sincerely seek Him? At the heart of holiness is God’s acquittal of sin through Yeshua, rather achieving sinlessness.
