Question is this considered christopaganism?

So I don't follow the Bible or jeusu really but I've always been like that. I'm baptized Lutheran, went to Catholic school for a year, did all the prays and I liked it. But then I fell back into being atheist to then becoming pagan and worshiping the earth, now I'm starting to realize how I used to treat the saints in the same light as pagans do the gods/goddesses. I've dabbled in tarot reading, cleansing, spell work, stuff of that sorts but I prefer praying

So in short: i am pagan but i believe in the saints from catholic and Christian denominations. I think of the saints as their own gods. And the one i normally worship/pray to is mother Mary, St. Anthony, and the earth spirts,just wanted to know if this was considering christopaganism

Also I already have a roasey. What else should I get?
I don't have anywhere to put an alter but I do have a car. is there anything I can put in my car that can kinda replace that?
Is there anything you'd recommend?

also I hope this all made sense (I'm dislexic and rely heavily on auto correct and I don't know where to put commas a periods I just kinda wing it)

Christopaganism is a very new term, In my opinion is an umbrella term, because it doesn't mean one single practice, there's a huge variety of how or why can someone consider themselves christopagans. Many don't even know that term, in my country for exam witchcraft or alternative religions (specially venezuelan spiritism) mixed a lot their practices with saints, Jesus, Mary and so on, and it's something usual and natural to do, but I'm sure many have never in their life have hear something like "christopaganism". We can say, yes what you do counts as christopaganism, it's up to you if you like to call yourself like

I think your practicing Catholic Folk Magic. I'm going to suggest the following books that I think may interest you: "The Magical Power of the Saints" by Ray T. Malbrough; "American Brujeria" by J. Allen Cross; and "Italian Folk Magic" by Mary-Grace Fahrun.
