I thought that only humans could be saints. What about Michael, Gabriel and Raphael?

A Saint is a denizen of Heaven who may intercede for us on our behalf. As such, it is not limited humans alone.
 
Saint is rooted in the latin word Sanctus, which means “set apart for sacred use.” Since angels are God’s messengers, they are set apart for sacred use. Human saints are those whom have been identified as living the type of life Christ required to receive the beatific vision. As such, they are in the presence of God, able to make intercession for us before Jesus. Therefore the are also “set apart for sacred use”.
