Worship in Catholicism is the mass. Praying to someone is asking them to pray for you to God. The word pray means ask, as in pray tell me sir.

The one billion Catholics and one half billion Orthodox Christians know the difference.

Wrong answer...To pray is to worship according to any dictionary...When the term 'I pray thee' or 'I pray you' is used, THAT is making a request...

So you have one and a half billion people who don't know that eh???

Incorrect, it can be either of:
pray (pr) v. prayed, pray·ing, prays v.intr. 1. To utter or address a prayer or prayers to God, a god, or another object of worship. 2. To make a fervent request or entreaty.

LadyDoc please see 267

Caths are not simply asking a request of someone, but asking a distinct class of believers called "saints," which distinction Scripture knows not of, in Heaven, where the spirits of all departed believers are, to hear an almost infinite amounts of mental prayers from those on earth, which is an attribute only God is shown to have, while in all the approx. 200 prayers in Scripture, the Holy Spirit does not inspire even one to anyone in Heaven but the Lord.

But the weight of Scripture is not the basis for the veracity of RC teaching, but the premise of her assured veracity is, contrary to Scripture.

Dictionary? In which language? Latin? Greek? Russian? Syriac? Catholic and Orthodox churches define prayer differnt from the worship of God and have recognized the difference for2000 years.

The English dictionary gives several definitions, including the Protestant one, but which dictonary?

we define it differently,
