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

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?

I think whatsoever efficacy the prayers of the saints have it does not always depend on the faith of the person being prayed for. In fact one outcome of the prayers may be an infusion of faith. God is gracious and doesn't wait on us to do it right and even reaches out to those who have turned away from Him

Consequently I think since the saint's who see Him as He is are, if the Bible is to be believed, "like Him" in some respect, maybe that respect is charity, and maybe they pray for those who do not want their prayers or do not think they can pray.
