So the question again is as follows:

Do you believe in the resurrection of the Dead? Yes or No. Simple question asking what you believe. Not what Catholics believe or what you think Catholics believe.

Catholics Honor the deceased Person, and Persons to a Person have both a Soul and Body. Christ the Divine Person rose from the dead, both Soul and Body, Not just soul.

So we honor the deceased saint [Person- by honoring their relics, and since we believe in the communion of saints, we also believe we are in communion with their spirit in Christ. Thus, in the end, the entire Saint [person] will be united with us and Christ in heaven, and that person will have both a soul and body.

Did you not read the verse I posted? Here, I'll post it again.

1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; 43 it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

>>Catholics Honor the deceased Person, and Persons to a Person have both a Soul and Body.<<

Isn't that what I said? They dig up and preserve the body that was sown in corruption. Not once in all of scripture are we taught to venerate a dead body.

>>and that person will have both a soul and body.<<

Not the corruptible body Catholics venerate.
