[Antoninus]

Nothing in Scripture ever teaches that any departed believer can even hear us, let alone do anything about it...

Antoninus, not my opinion at all.

Just a simple fact that it isn't in Scripture, no Apostle taught it, no Apostle practiced it, and no one ever wrote about it before the second century.

“Your personal opinion is noted.”

It would be rather more convincing to hear from you a Scriptural basis countering his claim.
