That's a perfect way to put it. Thank you.
Revelations: 5: 8> “...the twenty four elders fell down before the lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and bowls filled with incense, which are the >prayers of the holy ones.” These are OUR prayers here on Earth. Everyone in Heaven is already perfect as they are in Heaven.
The ‘elders’ represent the Saints in Heaven offering OUR prayers to God. (It's all part of a prayer-chain. Our prayers here on Earth & the ‘offering of the prayers to God by the Saints.)
Thank you for defending the True Church. + I know God works through prayers. Can a Catholic with True-Charity pray for Protestants by shouting at them through a Bullhorn?
