"Again, of course necromancy is a sin,"

It is disengenuous at best to throw around words without defining them. Necromancy is the practice of calling upon the spirits of the dead to gain special knowledge. The Catholic Church specifically prohibits it.

The Church teaches that those who believe in Christ do not die, but gain eternal life. Prayers of intercession to saints are therefore not necromancy.
