if you believe they can hear you, then you have attributed to them several attributes of GOD. specifically, omnipresence, omniscience, & a bit of omnipotence. the truth is that no believer has these abilities,
God can communicate His power to whomever He chooses. St. Paul and the Apostles received many powers from the Lord. So much so that some people actually thought they were gods. And they were still on earth.
In Heaven, we are perfected. All of the parts of us will work as they were intended by the Creator. Right now we use 10% of our brains. In Heaven, we will use 100%.
How do you know that God has not decided that this extra 90% will include the ability to hear requests for prayer from other Christians still on earth?

Indeed, why would one expect rational discussion with one who sees no incongruity with using self-contradictory terms like "a bit of omnipotence?"

Actually, the 10% of the brain thing is a cultural myth.
We use a much larger percentage—in the 90%’s IIRC . . . Greater imaging technologies have confirmed it repeatedly.
That 10% came from a spurious broadside guess/illustration by a famous person—I forget who. It never was based on any research even initially.

Silly conjectures based on NONsense are poor foundations for even fantasized RELIGIOUS guesses.
