“I do too, but I also recognize that Christ shares the office of intercessor with His saints.”

Wha...? Where in the Bible does it say that Christ and someone/others intercede with the Father?

Once again, and I’m quoting scripture — “...no one comes to the Father but by me.”

Seems pretty cut and dried. Christ ONLY.

There is nothing taught in Catholicism about salvation without Christ.

I guess we need to put an end to all of this then: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/prayerrequest/index?tab=articles

We certainly seem to have a bunch of people asking others to intercede for them here on FR.

No. Christ intecedes. Others - because of Christ - share in that work with Him. Much like how Christ AND THE SAINTS will judge the earth at the end of time.

“Once again, and I’m quoting scripture — “...no one comes to the Father but by me.””

Right. Without Christ this would be impossible. With Christ, it is possible.

“Seems pretty cut and dried. Christ ONLY.”

Christ only - and those whom He allows to share in His work. Just like the idea that Christ will judge us - with the saints.
