“I tell the traditional Christians that worshipping saints is not good; you have to worship God.”

The Evangelicals are teaching her some truth and some ignorance at the same time. They have convinced her that veneration is adoration.

Thank you! This is the only way to overcome Islam, although many converts will be killed.

A friend of mine is very Jewish. Grew up in a Jewish family, attended Jewish School, married Jewish, children attending a Jewish School. She is pretty famous, written several books, been on Opra as well as many other shows...

She had a NDE (near death experience) and met Jesus. She shared her experience with me as she knows that I am Christian, but has never told her husband or anyone else. She said that she has no doubt about Jesus, but is not ready to cause all the trouble in her family.

They are teaching her the things that no Catholic bothered to teach her. Had they bothered to preach the Gospel to them thenmaybe they would not be outnumbered by the muslims that want to kill them . Putting anything before God is idol worship , what ever you choose to call it doesn't change what it is .

I think the key here is 'worship', to worship a saint is to give what is rightly God's to another.
As Revelation 22 says:

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I’m a servant just like you and your brothers and sisters, the prophets, and those who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!

I met Him in a near death experience too.

With Muslims becoming Christians in particular, it is a VERY familiar story to hear of an encounter with Jesus in a dream or vision of some kind--telling them to listen to Christians.

I heard a story of a church in the USA having several Iranian(?) families suddenly start attending--all because each of the men separately, the same night...had dreams of Jesus telling them to go to that church. All were decent God-fearing Muslims, and had never had any interaction with Christianity.

Reminds me of the story of the first Gentile Christian:

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.

The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. (Acts 10:1-5)

Perhaps what the lady is seeing looks like adoration to her. When you come to know Jesus, you find you don’t need any other interceders.
