none of them have bothered to attempt any specific refutations of the comparisions

I cannot comment on the LDS but I did respond to the Catholic side point by point in 9505. More questions, just ask.

11 is correect as long as it is understood that prayers and other oblations for the dead work only for souls in Purgatory, already headed to heaven.

Well baptism for the dead in LDS theology only works for those who are already headed for heaven as well. They are baptized by proxy so that they can be considered worthy for entrance into the celestial kingdom.

So the comparison is quite apropos.

Carry on.
