How many Catholic beliefs are Biblical? What about the Immaculate Conception? Purgatory? Praying to the dead? Praying to Mary?

What does this below mean? Does the RCC believe that these Saints bodies are no longer in the grave? That can’t be right, because of the number of dead Saints have been seen as incorruptible.
<<<<<<<The faith of the Church is that the saints are not really dead, but are fully alive in Jesus Christ, who is life itself (John 11:25; 14:6) and the bread of life who bestows life on all who eat his flesh and drink his blood (John 6:35, 48, 51, 53-56). The saints are alive in heaven because of the life they have received through their faith in Christ Jesus and through their eating of his body and blood.>>>>>>>

I didn't deny it. When someone in the Church is referred to as "Saint" they are officially canonically recognized as one. In a simple perspective, saints can refer to all sanctified believers, but that term is not usually used in the RCC.

I don’t think that really answers my question.When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. Revelation 5:8
You're looking for exact stated verses... rather it is not a statement book of facts as we have come to look for.I don’t think that really answers my question.
