"So according to your interpretation of RC teaching, a person could pray to Satan (a created being) and not be involved in Satan- worship?"

The Catholic Church teaches Catholics to pray to God and to good angels such as their guardian angels, St. Michael, St. Gabriel, etc., and to saints - NOT to Satan, or to evil spirits. For information about praying to Satan, you will have to talk to fellow non-Catholics about that.

I was only following the constructs that you dogmatically laid out. You painted yourself into that corner.

It has already been established that the vast majority of Protestants don't pray to anyone but God. We are not the ones tempted to pray to created entities nor the ones who have to defend the illogical notion that prayer isn't worship.
