well you can see it by their actions, since Jesus said what is in the heart will be reflected through their words and actions, but you must also remember that jesus also said that many pharisees cleaned the outside without paying any attention to the inside. At the end of the day, only God knows the hearts of men and that is why whenever we see good works being done by someone you don’t praise them; you praise He who gave them the grace to perform such works.What are the marks of a holy priest or nun or lay person? Thanks.
But if you’re looking for general signs of of a holy priest, nun or a lay person in general, it’ll be one who promotes holy activism , one who doesn’t challenge Canon Law, one who treasures the Eucharist above all else, and one who goes to regular confession. Remember that whilst perfection is not impossible, it requires very frequent use of the sacraments. the saints weren’t made saints in heaven; their sanctity was gained here on earth (and possibly purgatory). The sacraments are our tools of santification; therefore one who frequently attends mass and the sacrament of penance is a pretty safe bet for holiness. But again, only God knows the hearts of men.
