13. Lol!
Technically, the title "saint" is reserved for biblical figures found in the New Testament. Generally, it is also used to conform with tradition, thus Saint Aelred, or when the title is used by other communions, as with Saint Louis. It is generally omitted when referring to saints that are uniquely Anglican, thus Hugh Latimer (a protestant bishop martyred by Queen Mary) rather than Saint Hugh. Thus, prayers refering to Martin rather than Saint Martin :)

As for C. S. Lewis, the link on the Calendar of Saints I linked above shows that his full name was Clive Staples Lewis. Saint Clive... I think not.
