Well since I’m not “consulting” the dead but rather asking them to pray for me, I’m made in the shade!

So the Catholic definition of "consulting" doesn't include "praying to" now? Or maybe the Catholic definition of "dead" doesn't include Christians?

No one’s does! Let’s look at the definiton of consult

con·sult (kn-slt)
v. con·sult·ed, con·sult·ing, con·sults
v.tr.
1.
a. To seek advice or information of: consult an attorney.
b. To refer to: consulted a telephone directory for the number.
2. To take into account; consider: consult one’s checkbook before making a major purchase.
v.intr.
1. To exchange views; confer.
2. To work or serve as a consultant: a retired executive who consults for several large companies.
n. (kn-slt, knslt)
A consultation, especially one involving physicians.

I’m not seeing where asking someone to pray with you = consult. Notice how all definitions include information coming BACK to the one consulting. The Saints don’t talk to us. Only the success of the prayer gives us the results
