If a pagan who knew nothing of God, became a believer, then became a student of the word of God, desiring to live by the word of God, and had no influence from human tradition regarding issues of faith, would, do you think, that believer be praying to anyone but God?

And would that believer see himself and all other believers as saints equally in the eyes of God, or would he elevate some believers to the status as elite saints, and the rest as simple "laity", instructing the "laity" to pray to the saints for favors and protections?

I was just talking about “passing on a message” - through a person that I give it to - and doing so after the person has died.
