“It’s a “two people praying together” type thing.”
I think for clarity’s sake it might be better if Catholics then referred to it as ‘praying with’ rather than ‘praying to.’
Praying ‘to’ means the object of the prayer is effecting the request of the prayer. Obviously Catholics do not believe that St. Whatever is himself manifesting divine power, but that St. Whatever might in turn petition Christ. So ‘to’ only, in my opinion, serves to confuse the manner among non-Catholic Christians.
Hopefully the above is stated in a fashion so as not to cause more dispute, since there IMO is already enough of that on FR.

I agree fully with your statement!
Praying “with” would be better but old habits never die.
And many non-Catholic Christians don’t ask us what we’re doing.
And some don’t care at all as long as we have a good relationship with Our Lord. Those are great people!
