Well, I think we'd have to agree to disagree here. I just checked with my wife about me being a saint, she's still laughing. :-}
You know, these were some of MY roots...Catholicism, just like Christianity's roots are in Judaism. ;) Even though there are differences...for Believers there is still the commonality of this Jesus, who is called Christ. If you wanna talk to Mary that's just fine with me.
Here, I agree with you. We are Christians.
But now I have a question for you?
Why do you use intercessors who still possess their human body to intercess for you when you can go directly to Christ the Mediator?
ummm...Just because? I'll be right back. ;)
