So their dead, but not totally dead? Are our prayers for intercession aimed at their rotting flesh or their heavenly presence? I ask the living saints in heaven to bring my prayers before the Lord, never talked to a body of rotting flesh in such a manner

It’s obvious from your comment that you simply don’t want to understand what I’ve written. Until the resurrection, there are no human forms in Heaven - aside from the 3 told to us in the Bible: Jesus, Enoch, & Elijah. All other saints who have died on earth are in heaven in spirit, awaiting the resurrection of their bodies.

Prayers for intercession are never to be directed to those who have died. That’s a man-made construct, having it roots in pagan religion. We are to ask other saints currently on the planet - those brothers and sisters in Christ within our church, for example - to pray for us. But not to carry our prayers to the Father - Christ is the only Priest in the church and He and the Holy Spirit do what man cannot.

Read the Bible and pay attention to what God has said more than what ye pay to what man says.
