When a poster claimed “Mormons have no such beliefs”, it is the typical tactic (shared by the Church PR in the official answers) of giving a misleading answer because of some technicality in the question. In other words, if the question were worded just slightly differently they would not be able to evade a giving a proper answer so easily.

Yes, I agree. I didn't word my question properly. The Mormons don't pray their deceased family members into Heaven. Instead, they believe that they can baptize them, by proxy, in secret and costly Temple ceremonies.

and costly Temple ceremonies

Er what? Last time I went to the Temple it cost me gas in my car but that was it.
