The prayer threads ask (pray means "ask") others to pray -- as Catholics ask Mary and the saints to pray.

Catholic prayer threads ask Mary and the saints to pray for them.

Bible-believing Christians ask for prayers to be sent to God alone.

Still wondering if you believe petitionary prayer has any effect.

Already answered.

It’s too bad for you! You lose out. I got some pretty powerful people praying with me.

So, let’s say a Protestant’s child needed a heart transplant. He comes to FR and asks for our prayers. Should he accept mine because I ask St. Anastasia to pray with me?

Bible-believing Christians ask Mary and the saints to pray for them. It happens all the time. They are called Catholics.
