Like asking the demigods to intercede with Zeus or the Roman household gods to intercede with Jupiter? :) No, I get that *you* have a theological justification for why it's still monotheism. It's just not persuasive to us.

No. They don’t have powers and cavort about in loincloths. They’re souls of the dead.

Who interact with the living at least in terms of having performed miracles after death (like demigods) and monitor for prayers directed towards them, based on which they can take certain actions.

Whatever. I was just trying to help you with your misunderstanding. You just want an argument.

No, but more seriously, I'm not trying to "win an argument." I'm trying to show that while you absolutely have your own reasons, they're not fully persuasive to those who don't share your beliefs. They're not JUST dead souls, they're dead souls with special powers.

Read the catechism and get back to me. I get that you really like this demigods schematic you’ve made for yourself, but you’re trying to score points now. Read the catechism and get back to me.

So is it just saints who have special access to God and can hear prayers directed at them or is it every dead person?

although it's also case that no one knows for sure where a given dead person is so you might be wasting your time with some of them you know how folks tweet "my sister has cancer; please pray for her" ? asking saints for help is the LITERALLY THE same thing; asking THEM to pray

I always pictured Saints kind of like lobbyists. They can intercede on your behalf.
