That is not Catholic teaching what you stated. You are uninformed of what Catholic Teaching is. That is why the Catholics have the Book Malachi added to the Bible.
The Bible also states clearly that though there is no one on earth holier than John the Baptist was, the least in heaven was holier than he was on earth (Matthew 11:11).
Explain Matthew 11:11, and I will give you a pass on what you said that when you are dead, you are dead. The book of Malachi also needs to be explained, as it was the folks who put the Bible together in the first place put in the book of Malachi. Were they wrong in putting the books in the Bible back in the 4th or 5th Century?

For Jesus also said: "Do not give what is holy to dogs.
Finally, there are those who feel they can sin as much as they want, as long as they said the words "I have been saved".
Being saved means keeping God's commandments and showing God you love Him with your whole heart, mind and soul, and loving your neighbor as yourself.
Leading other people into sin (living with a man out of wedlock) is not an example for young children, and would lead them into sin.
Do you condemn Jesus for what He did with the moneychangers in the Temple?
Do you condemn Jesus for saying to the adulterous woman (in sharp rebuke) "Go and sin no more!

I cannot make sense of your argument, but just to clarify a point: the Book of Malachi is in Protestant Bibles too. It's not part of the Deuterocanon. Perhaps you mean Maccabees? As for the previous poster not stating Catholic teaching: where did he say he was? He explained the Protestant view. Funeral services are memorials for the loved ones of the deceased, and not of any real use to the deceased him or her self.
