Should we venerate the Sangha or just the Noble Sangha?

As a young Buddhist, I was taught to respect members of the order and venerate the Sangha. Recently, I was told that the word Sangha only refers to the Noble Sangha (i.e. Ariya-sangha not Sammuti-sangha) in a [comment](https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/51150/what-is-the-history-of-mindfulness#comment83988_51154) . > the word Sangha refers to the Noble Sangha My question is whether veneration should or should not be accorded by default to the Sangha (both conventional and Noble Sangha) or should it be reserved only to the Noble ones (i.e. [the eight noble beings](https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/50179/who-are-the-noble-ones-and-who-are-their-disciples/50187#50187)) . Why and why not? (A side note: I find [this answer](https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/37194/should-any-monastic-be-considered-a-noble-one/37198#37198) by the ex-forumer @Yeshe Tenley to be a good read).
