a.) The saints mentioned in Rev 8:3 & 4 are in heaven. Scripture doesn’t tell us. They might be still alive in the flesh, on planet Earth.

Huh?

b.) The saints in heaven have been petitioned by saints on Earth and are carrying those prayers. Scripture doesn’t tell us what content of the prayers.

The content of the prayers is inconsequential, it could be a prayer that my dog is rid of her ear mites or it could be for the conversion of sinners, the fact is that, as you state The saints in heaven have been petitioned by saints on Earth and are carrying those prayers"

God loves us and we are His children, why would he cut us off from our brothers ans sisters perfected in him?

What is your question about my point (a)? Saints live in the flesh on planet Earth (the Bible calls all believers in Christ, saints) as well as in heaven.

Acts 9:13, Acts 9:32, Acts 9:40 - 41, Acts 26:10, Romans 1:7, Romans 8:26 - 27, Romans 12:10 - 16, Romans 15:25 - 26, Romans 15:30 - 31, Romans 16:15, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 1 Corinthians 6:1, 1 Corinthians 14:33, 1 Corinthians 16:1, 1 Corinthians 16:13 - 16, 2 Corinthians 1:1, Ephesians 1:1, Ephesians 4:11 - 12, Ephesians 5:3, Philippians 1:1, Philippians 4:20 - 23, Colossians 1:2, 1 Timothy 5:9 - 10, Hebrews 6:9 - 10, Jude 1:3.

All of those verses show that all children of God are called “saints”.
