Contemplating the idea of saints existing outside the recognized boundaries of the Latter-day Saint church, Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Saints immediately came to mind. Notably, the Eastern Orthodox Church has had its fair share of modern saints with remarkable testimonies that include virtues, but also miracles and gifts of the Spirit. Examples include [Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia](https://www.amazon.com/dp/9606890236) and [Saint Paisios of Mount Athos](https://www.amazon.com/dp/9608976456) . The Catholic Church also has an [extensive list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronological_list_of_saints_and_blesseds_in_the_20th_century) of recently recognized saints.
I wonder, does the LDS church acknowledge the existence of (some of) such saints as actual saints?
