First, Douglas, making a Warrior Saint into a healer is a bit of a square peg/round hole problem. Sure, you can do it, but it's not going to be pretty, or easy. Warrior saints specialize in kicking coccyx in the name of the Lord, while saints specialize in being divine power wellsprings.

Now, Cadmus is only a few points away from getting Guide My Hand and/or Righteous Fury, and that will help your combat ability by a lot. Remember, I designed Warrior Saints around learned prayers because they don't have the points to spend in enough Divine Favor, Power investiture, Faster Prayers and Repeated Petitioner to get reliable improvised miracles IN COMBAT. Outside of combat, yes, they can act as decent healers.

So, something like 2 or 3 cp for each non-integer level of Speed, and 14 or 11 cp for the integer level?

Is Divine Favor from a Pyramid article? I've been searching my books and it's driving me crazy! Where is this published?

It is from GURPS Powers: Divine Favor though Pyramid #3/36 has an articular on "Dungeon Saints"

I was thinking 4 per non-integer level. But it's obviously not very elegant.
