Protestant Christians do not recoil at the name of Mary. We just don't involve dead people in our worship.

Yes, you read that right. MARY IS DEAD AND IN HER GRAVE.

That is not to flame or torque you off, it's just what Protestants believe.

I am not trying to be mean, so please do not take it that way.

I agree. I can find absolutely no scriptural basis for praying to deceased persons. I find no example of anyone in the bible asking the deceased to pray for them.

I wasn't aware that you had been appointed to speak for all Protestants. Perhaps you should narrow your statement to describe what you believe or what the doctrine of your particular denomination proclaims.

So I assume you Protestants don't believe in an afterlife?

So you think that Mary was her mortal body and is no more? You don't think that Mary is an eternal soul, and is living still?
