Do you receive the Body and Blood of Jesus like He told you to??
Protestants don't talk to dead people. Only the occult does that.
Since Jesus is alive, we pray to Him and His Father. That's all we need, and that's all He wants. Contrary to what Catholics believe, Jesus (and His Father) is not too busy to be listening to us, and He listens to our prayers. We don't need another intercessor.
Protestants do do that with the Lord’s supper.
and we ask the Saints to ask the Trinity for favors.

Why bother with middle men who, Heaven bound are probably focused on Heavenly things more or less exclusively anyway?
No where in Scripture is there an exhortation TO pray as you do . . .
There’s LOTS of Scriptural evidence that doing so is idolatrous and blasphemous.
In other words, the inferences for the latter are a LOT more solid and plentiful than the faint wisps of ephemeral foggy slight hints of inferences for your constructions on RELIGION.
We pray to God through His Son, Jesus. We don’t pray to the Holy Spirit or Mary, or Saints or any of that stuff.
