Asking members of the Church Triumphant in Heaven to pray for you is NOT “spiritism”.

Do you pray to Uncle Bob to pray for you? Or do you contact him and ask him to pray for you? Assume Uncle Bob is alive.

If your request is made by supernatural means, then it most certainly is spiritism.

How is talking to the dead ever not Spiritism? It's defined in the bible as spiritism and never redefined in any other way. Why not pray the way the bible says to pray?
