Way one saint initially supplied worshippers (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

methodists

'worshippers' is the definition.
(Methodism is a Christian denomination)

'way one saint initially supplied' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'method' (method is a kind of way).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'saint' becomes 'st'.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'supplied' is 's'.
'method'+'i'+'st'+'s'='METHODISTS'

(Another definition for methodists that I've seen is " Worshippers".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
