“To us also Thy sinful servants, who put our trust in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy Apostles and Martyrs: with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and all Thy Saints. Into their company we beseech Thee admit us, not considering our merits, but freely pardoning our offenses. Through Christ our Lord.”

That prayer did not come from Scripture. Sounds unbelieving to me. God shows no partiality, anyway. He is a much more God! If you belong to Christ you HAVE FELLOWSHIP with Him and His! Now. Today. And you WILL be in their company later!

I'm sure that means something to you, but it doesn't mean anything to me, can you be more clear on why that would be an issue?

Based on WHAT?! Here we have the official prayer of the Catholic Church confirming that we do not merit Heaven and nevertheless there's still fault found with it.
