We pray to Christ in accordance with the biblical model. We have direct access to Him.

Agreed

I don't pray to my mom or day who are in Heaven; I don't pray to Paul or Peter; I don't pray to Mary.

Neither do Catholics.

You have still not answered my question: So, when your friends, or even strangers, ask you to pray for them, you refuse and tell them to go directly to Jesus?

Please...a simple google search will prove you wrong....do we really have to do the exercise?

As stated previously....in accordance with the Biblical model.

Then how to do Roman Catholics invoke her to provide mediation? How do Roman Catholics invoke her to save?

Text message? Telegram? Hit her on her cell phone? Snail mail?

Roman Catholics PRAY to her. Apparently, you are poorly catechized....

From the Catechism of the Catholic Cult/Church:
"2675 Beginning with Mary's unique cooperation with the working of the Holy Spirit, the Churches developed their prayer to the holy Mother of God, centering it on the person of Christ manifested in his mysteries. In countless hymns and antiphons expressing this prayer, two movements usually alternate with one another: the first "magnifies" the Lord for the "great things" he did for his lowly servant and through her for all human beings29 The second entrusts the supplications and praises of the children of God to the Mother of Jesus, because she now knows the humanity which, in her, the Son of God espoused."

There. Fixed.
