BTW, i was referring to the actual texts in red as correct (and the Magnificate by the Spirit of God is magnificent), not your Hail Mary, Full of Grace prayer.

That is fine and understood; I completely understand someone not having confidence or faith to talk to Mary, as long as they love her, call her blessed, and emulate her faith and faithfulness, I'm content.

Speaking of prayer, do you think Protestant prayers are scriptural ?

Which Protestant prayers? All Protestants? All of their prayers?

I certainly do esteem and honor the Mary of Scripture, whose faith and faithfulness i certainly should emulate always, but is no lack of confidence or faith that is behind not praying to Mary, but that it simply is not Scriptural, regardless of Catholic attempts to extrapolate support for it.

Yes and no, as some may be in Jesus name, which is not appending His name at the end of a prayer, but praying consistent with His Spirit and word.

I'm content to understand that Mary is as dead as any other person who lived 2000 year ago.

I do NOT understand how Catholicism is so upset that a vast number of people do NOT 'believe' the stories it has made up about Mary.

If they are directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus, yes.
