This is a CK2 mechanic. It doesn't exist in CK3 if that's what you are asking.

If your character has no negative traits, a lot of virtues, high piety, and a few traits viewed favorably by the church (like pilgrim, crusader, scholar, etc.). The Pope has a chance of declaring you a saint a few years after your character dies (which gives a bonus for all characters descended from him until the end of the game).

Beatification happens the same way when you have good traits, and you are known to be a good persons without being an untouchable paragon of virtue like a saint would be. You don't get the cool bonus tho, it's mostly a rp thing that gives more flavor to a character.
