An angel is a being that is a messanger or servant for God. Though the Bible doesn't explicitly say that humans can become angels it does offer evidence to support the human to angel conversion. Moses and Elijah appeared to minister as angels to Jesus while Peter, James and John watched.
Interestingly, saints are not mentioned anywhere in the Bible except as a side note when Paul referred to those living people who were living the commandments.
If I had my Bible with me I'd give references, if you want them I can post them once I get home.
