ealgeone:

No, to infer what you want to infer is pure protestant innovation and is not found in the early Church’s reading of the those same scriptures. You can appeal to your view and some modern fundamentalist protestant internet theologian. I can appeal to a consensus of both Latin and Greek sources and what is done in both the Catholic and Orthodox Church.

your appeal is to man-made sources and not the Bible alone. if you keep things in context you will see the saints in these passages are all the same. they are in Heaven at the altar and they are making prayers to God regarding when will He avenge their blood on those who dwell on the earth.
