The Church does not venerate them as saints, this is true. The Anglicans can venerate those from 1300 to 1500 because they were in communion with the Roman Church at this time. England was still Orthodox until 1066, when William the Bastard invaded England and martyred those pious Orthodox people, including the last Orthodox King of England Blessed Harold (Godwinson) II.
Anything after that is not Orthodox. Anything before that is, including Ss Columba, Patrick, Gregory Dialogos, Cloud, etc. All of those Western Saints reposed in communion with the Church, and were venerated by those in communion with the Church as well. They are Saints.
As for the question of the OP, I hope I have answered it.
