Remember we’re talking about an individual and not a topic for a debate team. After all, what is the implication of denying those who use the rosary. Is it not the default position of protestants that those who use the rosary are idolators raising up a dead human being above Christ through the use of pagan repetitive prayer? I suspect that it is a source of serious consideration for someone who denies millions and calls into question their ability to go to Heaven as a result of this practice. So instead of thinking of this as a, “so many are doing it, why aren’t I?” Question perhaps the question would be better phrased, “why do I condemn so many?” I think that is more in keeping with the spirit of the original question.
If so, that position is supported by scripture as regards prayer to the dead. I wouldn't say the prayers themselves are pagan as the Lord's Prayer is in scripture but the direction of the Rosary in general is the problem. God hears prayer.

Therein lies the real problem, that a man's work gets him to heaven? Again an idea in direct opposition to scripture.

So by not praying the Rosary, I am now guilty of 'condemning' those that do? A sin of commission or omission? No, it is a 'everyone else is doing it' question, with the deciding factor being the practice of millions or the practice or non-practice of the author.
