What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Salute Philologus, and Julius, and Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them;" Which was the greatest dignity, and unspeakable height of honor. Then to prevent any jealousy rising from his addressing one in one way and another in another, and some by name and some with no distinction, and some with more points of praise, and some with fewer, he again mingles them in the equality of charity, and in the holy kiss. ...
Theophylact of Ohrid
Great praise he ascribes to these persons as well: for he called them saints.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he says, greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias and all the saints who are with them, i.e., sanctified in the faith of Christ: you were washed, you were sanctified (1 Cor 6:11).
