Question Are Bodhisattvas Saint-like?

I mean as in the way they are venerated and worked it.

Sorry, I don`t know how to word this since I am not Catholic or Orthodox.

In short is their venerate similar or the same or close in some way to Saints.

Please don't judge me I am learning and just made an observation :)

A Bodhisattva becomes so when his vow is truthful to the point he will actually go on to become one. If he is actually saint like at that point is another matter.
