Thanks for your comments here and at Twitter both. :)

I guess I should specify a little - My character is a cop and I wouldn't ever have imagined her praying TO St Michael as "Saint Mike". She would definitely address him more respectfully than that. But when she woke up, her saint medal was gone from around her neck, and I had her asking, "Where's my Saint Mike?" while she came out from under morphine. I definitely don't want it to be jarring or blasphemous, though, because that's definitely not my character's intent.

I'd never thought of "saint" or "archangel" as a job title, but that's a fascinating way to look at it. I want to think about that more.

I was raised a Protestant, but I've always been fascinated with my dad's family religion. Protestants, at least of my variety, don't hear much about the saints (except when ignorant people in the church talk about how they think Catholics worship Mary and saints). A lot of the Biblical saints, of course, are revered as God's chosen speakers and teachers, but we don't have quite the same approach.

I really appreciate your weighing in on this. :)
