Common Popular belief has them as both, but are they? And is that specific Mantle Saint Nicholas?

Yup, it was pretty direct, and I asked the question specifically with this whole Saint question in mind. Should have followed up and asked for a specific definition. He listed several different Names/Mantles in comparison to his Santa and Vadderung Mantles.
--- Quote ---2015 AMA
Vadderung is Santa Claus, is he also St Nicholas?
And Father Christmas and Sinterklaas and a variety of others. But in our modern era, a lot of people wear multiple hats on the job.

I agree, it is also possible that someone who wasn't a good person has a change of heart at the end and sacrifices for the greater good could be named a saint.

The way that quote is worded, each of those could have been separate people/Mantles.
