Nowhere is Mary worshiped; She is only asked to pray for us, both Catholics and non-Catholics.

I'm RCC. I pray to God. My salvation is a gift of believing in Jesus the Risen Christ. I have accepted the Holy Spirit.

As blessed as Mary is, I don't pray to her to pray FOR us. She died, as do all humans. A holy woman, and blessed vessel for sure. I honor her memory, as I honor any of the Saints. But she's dead and in Heaven. I really don't think the spirit of a mortal needs to hang around listening to other mortals ask for favors. God can handle it. Really. Have faith in God, the Creator of all that is seen and unseen, the Alpha and the Omega, to have the competence to hear your prayers.

Let me get this straight: You claim you're a Catholic but will not pray a Rosary or even a single Hail Mary?

Very interesting.

I am not RCC but I believe as you do and yet I believe Mary was innocent in both body and spirit which is why she was favored.
