You wrote:

“The saints sleep. Paul made that very clear.”

Nope.

” When we die, we sleep until the rapture (first resurrection).”

Nope. When we die, we are judged. We’re not asleep.

“Anyone that you pray to you worship.”

Nope. Learn English. To pray means to ask.

“Christ gave no one the power to conjur up the dead.”

We don’t “conjure up” anyone.

“Christ’s office is redeemer and priest, and he shares those with no one. (you can be glad of that, imagine hanging on the cross!)”

False. Christ’s three principle offices are of priest, prophet and king. He shares all three with us through baptism. Since this is orthodox theology I would not expect you to know it. Even many Protestants know this, Christopher A. Hutchinson writes about it in a little online article called, “The Gospel Displayed in the Office of Deacon” and he’s apparently PCA.

“The word is Christian, not anti-catholic. Catholics are anti-christian, or just plain numb.”

So, then PCA members are anti-Christian too? See how quickly your bad theories apparently made up out of thin air collapse?

“Again, the saints sleep;”

Nope. Jesus says they are alive with God. Jesus is right. You’re not.

“they are not consious until they are changed, as Paul stated in his epistle to the Thessalonians.”

That’s not what he says. Even Protestants generally don’t hold your view: http://www.etsjets.org/files/JETS-PDFs/22/22-4/22-4-pp345-349_JETS.pdf

.
John 5:

[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

.
I guess Jesus forgot to check with you; shame, huh?
