Well, it depends on what's your motivation in knowing one. Anyway, technically it is difficult for laypersons to know, even practictioners may also find it difficult in identifying one.
However, the easiest way in identifying a Arhat or Bodhisattva is through long time observations or practising under a good Guru.
The most misleading way is of cos, by word of mouth.

I need to know an answer. So I really need to find a saint to really ask.

can look for Ven ChungXi ä¼ å–œæ³•å¸ˆ.
the way i see it, i kind of see a really Well cultivated Masters, in a very special way. how? even spirits go and look for them for liberation.
in my mind there's late Master Guang Ching(fruit monk), late Master Yin Guang, old Master Chin Kung and this Ven ChungXi ä¼ å–œæ³•å¸ˆ. the rest i'm not so sure, they are good. just that i think they are the ones that are really compassionate and that the spirits/ghosts know that they can really really Help them liberate from the suffering of the hungry ghost realm.
even those spirits from the indonesia tsunami went to look for Ven ChungXi ä¼ å–œæ³•å¸ˆ, which i think they "spiritually" saw that He's really well cultivated. amazing.

We are bodhisavatta to be or arhart to be, it takes time to be become one.

Need not be someone who is prominent in that religion could be a bodhisavatta, anybody in this world can be one, of coz we ourselve oreadi are one to be, if we practise bodhisavatta way.
Forest_Gump,
By the way what you want to ask? If your question is not that difficult, I believe most practioner monks locally could give you a good answer to your question.

also, i remember a important message that Ven ChungXi ä¼ å–œæ³•å¸ˆ want to convey from the ghosts, saying that those people involve in smoking are suffering badly in the lower realms. especially those selling/importing cigarettes. why so heavy? because it blocks a person's passage to higher realms and open the entrance passages toward the lower realms.so Ven ChungXi ä¼ å–œæ³•å¸ˆ is totally against smoking. pls be aware!

from a previous thread:-
smoking "clogged the spiritual "veins" of all buddhist practioners"
