The latter is what Catholics do with Mary. The former example is evidenced in NT epistles. The wording of a prayer is irrelevant, if you ask me to pray for your sick daughter, you have done to me exactly what we ask Mary to do. Please, Mary, pray for us, now and at the hour of our death....that's the Hail Mary.

I don’t know how many turns of this you want to do. It has been admitted by Roman Catholics on this thread that they indeed offer prayers up to departed saints and Mary.
By you taking a prayer request is not the same as me offering YOU a prayer. There’s the difference.
I also asked for an example of OT or NT people praying to entities other than God. No one piped up on that because all the instances are negative and involve prayers to other gods and not God.
