I get it that nothing more is required...

You would be the first Roman Catholic to say that. I am encouraged to see this.

...but would it be alright with you, if for instance I was actually able to talk directly to Jesus...

You can and this is the Scriptural solution to the issue at hand.

9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. 1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 1:9-2 John 2:2 NASB

... or His representative here on earth...

if it makes you feel better, but only Christ forgives our sins and our appeal is only to Him.

... and tell Him how sorry I was that I stole your car...

If the Him is Jesus, then this is very Scriptural.

and then He asked me to think about His mother while I meditate on the time:....

A non-Scriptural position. Thinking about Mary or Paul or Peter does us no good in this situation.

when He assumed his mom into Heaven or

Not supported by Scripture nor Tradition.

when He crowned her Queen in Heaven or..

Not supported by and rejected by Scripture. If you're appealing to Revelation 12:1 you have to include 12:2. Rev 12:2 speaks of the woman crying out in pain which would be an indication of being under the curse issued in Genesis.

The subject of the passage doesn't change in this sentence. There is no grammatical rule that would allow this.

to pray like he taught us in scripture.

If so, the Roman Catholic will direct their prayers to God. There is no teaching of praying to departed believers in the New Testament.

then in my sorrow to hear Him say the most comforting words "Go now, your sins are forgiven"

He's already told us this in His Word.

Also, if the RC's are going to run with the woman in Revelation being Mary, then they have a problem with the statement that Satan went to wage war with the rest of her children.

Ooops, there goes the perpetual virginity of Mary thing and that she and Joseph didn't have any other children.
