Do Oriental Catholics (in particular Coptic Catholics) venerate some/all of the saints the Oriental Orthodox church does?

I’m particularly curious about potentially problematic saints such as Severus of Antioch and Pope Dioscorus of Alexandria, and more recent saints such as Anba Abraam and Pope Kyrillos(Cyril) VI.

I’m also curious as to whether Severus of Antioch and Dioscorus are still anathemised by Rome as they are by the Eastern Orthodox Church.

O glorious Fathers of the Councils,
you demonstrated that Pyrrhus, Sergius, and Onuphrius,
Dioscorus, and Nestorius were in error
concerning the doctrines of Christ.
You save the flock by teaching the true principle
that Christ is one divine person in two natures.
This Christ we adore as perfect man and perfect God,
one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
O holy Fathers, we honour you and sing to you a hymn of praise.

Sunday of the Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils (especially that of Chalcedon)

I assume that Coptic Catholics venerate the same saints as the Coptic Orthodox just as we Byzantines venerate the same saints as the Eastern Orthodox. A saint is a saint.
