This point has been made one million times.

A stupid Protestant will still insist that asking saints to pray for you is the same thing as praying to them.

An intelligent Protestant will simply ignore your point, and allow the stupid ones to keep repeating the same slander without correcting them.

I know...I clarify the point when it comes up in the hope that someone really doesn't understand to whom it is a Catholic prays...if an argument ensues, I ignore it.

This thread has gone off on so many different tangents that the original point has been lost, hasn't it? I wonder what would happen to all of the folks who receive assistance through Catholic charities if the Catholic church began insisting on adherence to a "statement of faith." When I volunteered at Refugee Services, funded by the Catholic church, I only helped Moslems.
