Do Orthodox accept all Catholic Saints as Saints and vice versa?

Publicly, no. Private veneration is fine. Many, though, are shared.

I have an Icon of St. German of Alaska, (Russian Orthodox) apostle to the Alaska Natives. I have prayed in his old monastery (now a state park) in Juneau. I have asked him to pray for me to the Lord our God.

I see that there was the annual St Herman pilgrimage in Kodiak about 10 days back.
 
Some may say that this is too simplistic an answer but it is what I personally go by, but I have no problem praying to either number of saints whether they wre from the Orthodox or Eastern Catholic churches.

When I put together the Saints For the Day, I only found the Orthodox sites more comprehensive and the Eastern Catholic sites either offline or not exstensive. (I have found links of Orthodox Saints on Eastern Catholic sites, so what’s the big deal?) Our Pastor preaches his homilies on both Church’s Saints regularily.

The Saints from both Churches are in Heaven. We are not. It is Man, through the work of Satan that has put ALL of our Eastern Christianity into divison. I do not wish to fall into that ‘category’.
