...then the same can be true of those in Heaven.

So many assumptions in one sentence.

Not at all; but neither did I dump a whole concordance and the Large and Small Lutheran Catechisms and the CCC into one post.

” I believe that there is upon earth a little holy group and congregation of pure saints, under one head, even Christ, called together by the Holy Ghost in one faith, one mind, and understanding, with manifold gifts, yet agreeing in love, without sects or schisms. “ — Luther’s Large Catechism

“946 After confessing “the holy catholic Church,” the Apostles’ Creed adds “the communion of saints.” In a certain sense this article is a further explanation of the preceding: “What is the Church if not the assembly of all the saints?”479 The communion of saints is the Church.

947 “Since all the faithful form one body, the good of each is communicated to the others. . . . We must therefore believe that there exists a communion of goods in the Church. But the most important member is Christ, since he is the head. . . . Therefore, the riches of Christ are communicated to all the members, through the sacraments.”480 “As this Church is governed by one and the same Spirit, all the goods she has received necessarily become a common fund.”481

948 The term “communion of saints” therefore has two closely linked meanings: communion in holy things (sancta)” and “among holy persons (sancti).””
— Catholic of the Catholic Church

Despite trying terribly hard to be distinct from one other, Christians, if they looked clearly, would find they agree and have one Lord, Jesus Christ.
