Thus those saints who are angels have a role in presenting our prayers to God in an intercessory manner.

I'm sorry, I just don't see where you get that idea from that verse. It does not say that the angels presented the prayers to God. You're reading your view into it.

The fact that those in the heavenly court can hear our prayers is also indicated in the book of Revelation, where we read:

It says nothing more than that.

In any event, we know that the saints in heaven (whether human saints or angel saints) are aware of our prayers and, based on them, intercede with God on our behalf.

No where does it say that there is any intercession.

I hope you're not saying that with a straight face. Isn't that what Protestants do all the time with scripture? Why shouldn't Catholics?

Read the post carefully. As you requested, Scripture was quoted for you to support intercessary prayer. I don't expect you to accept our beliefs any more than we accept "sola scriptura."

Have a good evening.
