St. Leo, pray for us!
@Yesica1993 (Person 2)
We do not ask dead people to pray for us.
That is not biblical.
@elliotdavies (Person 1)
The Saints are not dead.

I knew this word game
would be played. I knew it. It always is.
Always. I request that you do not play it with
me.
You know as well as I do that the original
Pope Leo is physically DEAD. You know the
Bible commands no contact with the
physically DEAD. You also know that all
believers are called "saints" in the Bible.
You know all of this. Again, do not play that
word game with me.

Does the Bible command no contact with the physically dead or are you reading your own theological biases back into the text? If you mean it is forbidden to pay a witch to conduct a seance to obtain forbidden knowledge from the dead. Then yes I agree.
But can we really not make any distinctions here? It seems that our Lord himself does when he says of the father,
"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” Matt 22:32
And if the answer is no, no distinctions can be made then it begs the question was our Lord as well as Peter, James, and John all violating God's word when they encountered Moses and Elijah?
"And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him." Matt 17:1-3.
