You don't pray to the saints or to dead relatives. That is necromancy... a form of witchcraft and idolatry.
They can't hear your prayers or be your court of appeals lawyer before God. You are saved through Jesus Christ. Because he said "no one comes to the father but through me". (John 14:6). Not "you can pray to the saints or your dead relatives to reach the father"
Purgatory doesn't exist.
Its heaven or hell.
You will be judged on your deeds. Not because of the prayers people say to you or for you after you're already dead. (Rev 20:13)
Because if you're judged based on the prayers of others, that means God is unjust. Its like you become like a corrupt bureaucrat who gets away from the justice system because you and your rich family and friends can pay off the judge.
You reap what you sow in this life. (Gal 6:7)
The Bible doesn't say you reap what others have sown for you.
