Praying FOR someone is not the same as praying TO someone.

Asking the Saints for the prayers is NOT praying TO them. It is no different that asking any of your loved ones to pray for you except you are affirming that they are alive in Christ when you call upon the Saints to pray FOR you.

And how does one ask or call upon the Saints for their prayers?

Did not Jesus say that anything we ask in his name HE would do? And that we should pray to “Our Father in the heavens..?
(John 14:13,14 Matt. 6:6,9)

James said we could ask fellow Christians to pray to God on our behalf. Is this what you meant?
