then it was also blasphemy when St. Paul told the Corinthians that God was appealing (to them to repent) through him, or when he said, in another place, that now it was not he who lived, but Christ living through him.

No blasphemy. All who repent do so because God has given them new eyes and new ears and a new heart with which to know their salvation has been won for them by Christ on the cross.

Nor is it blasphemy to know that we now live not for and by and through ourselves, but for and by and through Jesus Christ alone.

And that fact means there is no other mediator between God and men, but Christ Jesus, and that there is no "co-redeemer." Christ on the cross, alone.

Too bad the RCC doesn't teach those two Scriptural truths.

I’m assuming then that you never ask a friend or loved one to pray for you, nor do you pray for others.

Do you believe St. Paul was being wrong and very very naughty when he said this:

Rom 15:30 I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,

Asking his brethren to pray for him?

And no doubt St. Paul was being quite naughty indeed when he said this:

Php 1:3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you: Php 1:4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all with joy:

What's this? Interceding for others?

No blasphemy. All who repent do so

Which has zero relevance to Paul saying that God appeals through him. According to you, it's blasphemy when a Catholic priest says anything like that. When Paul says it, you change the subject.

You contradict yourself endlessly, not to mention contradicting Scripture and making false statements about Catholic belief.

What's really strange, though, is that you think we are in such terrible error, but you sprinkle "LOL" in your posts. Do you think our damnation is funny? Does it amuse you?
