"Saint John the Evangelist" (Sfântul Ioan Evanghelistul) wrote the fourth gospel in the New Testament. I think that in the Orthodox calendar his day is 8th July.
"Saint John the Baptist" (Sfântul Ioan Botezătorul) was the prophet that baptized Jesus Christ and introduced Him to the nation of Israel. I think that in the Orthodox calendar his day is 7th January.
It does appear that these two men are being confused on this course. Can someone please explain why.

This is very misleading. Yes, John the Baptist is Saint John, but here we are talking about a translation course. The correct translation should be "Ion Botezatorul" we have this in the Romanian culture.
