[Dr. Eckleburg]

Never prayed to a dead person, only to those alive in Christ including those who are perfected by Him in heaven

Yes, we're all familiar with Rome's little attempted end-run around the word of God. I doubt God is fooled.

Scripture says we are not to pray to people who have left this life of the living and entered into the next life.

Praying to those who are no longer living on planet earth is necromancy.

Repent of it.

From Answers.com:

nec·ro·man·cy (nÄ•k'rÉ™-măn'sÄ“) n.
1. The practice of supposedly communicating with the spirits of the dead in order to predict the future.
2. Black magic; sorcery.
3. Magic qualities.

Nope, not guilty of any of this. When I pray to a member of the Church Triumphant, I ask them to lay my prayers on the alter of the Lord, I ask them to intercede for me, with the implicit knowledge that all prayers are ultimately directed to the only One who has the authority to answer. God is the focus of our prayers and the source of all answers, both recognized and unrecognized.

You ability to see into the hearts of the prayerful is quite a "gift".
