You have just given the Catholic argument, except that you won't include Mary and the saints in heaven as part of the Church.
Bingo!
well scripture tells me to unite with other believers and meet together with them and pray.
And you believe death is some barrier to fully uniting with all of those who live in Christ, is that right?
I haven't seen Mary there in attendance, nor does scripture say that she is. The Lord tho, says that He is
The Lord is present, but His Body isn't? And you have no idea how revealing your admission is that you "haven't seen" the saints in your worship, so you don't believe.
In last week's Gospel, Thomas had to put his hand in Jesus' side before he would believe.
