praying to saints is extremely normal for christians, and thinking you're your own pope and get to decide who is a saint and who isnt is extremely normal for americans.
btw, this very strong distinction between catholic and protestant christianity is pretty alien to me. either because i'm equally far from both, or because i grew up in a country that ended up mixed catholic/protestant at the end of the wars of reformation.
in reality, christianity is pretty pagan by itself. god has a son who is god and he dies? god is born? god dies? that's greek shit.

I dunno, I was raised a pretty radical Quaker, so you’re all idol worshipers to me, and presumably quakers are weird heretics to you!
Not that I’ve practiced since childhood mind, so I’m damned either way.
