We have ONE creed which states that we believe in ONE God and we believe that Mary was a created human being, not divine. If you say that Catholics to pray to (and even "worship") Mary you have been misled.

Well, let's be clear:

We do PRAY to Mary. But, according to legal documents I just filed, I "pray" to the state of New Year to rule in my favor. To "pray" simply means to beseech, to request favor, etc.

Protestants, ignorant of this, believe that praying to someone means worshipping that person, and we do not *worship* anyone but God. We beseech the saints, angels, and Mary, however, to pray for us to God so that our prayer may be joined with theirs, for it is pleasing to God that our prayers be so united. And we pray only to those deceased souls whom we are certain are saints, so that we know their will is in unity with God's, to help us pray for things which are in God's will.
