The very first phrase in Revelation verse 1 is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ", John was only the recipient of the words of Christ and wrote them down, they were not his revelation but Christ's.
The reason we see the words; "St. John" is because the Catholic church declared him a saint. Any time you see the words "St" in front of a person's name it is Catholic.
We do not use our status as saints as a title. We do often use the phrase "brother or sister" because we are all siblings. Other than this we do not title ourselves because we are all equal and all children of God.
Revelation 1:1-2 "1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."
