>>Some point he says there are no saints because they are not in the Bible,

There's no divinely inspired table of contents in the bible either, to vouch for and verify which books belong in it. Protestantism + sola scriptura is a dead end.

Anyway for the question:
Revelation 8:4: "And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel."

Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19–31 indicates the ability of the dead to pray for the living. The intercession of the dead for the living is shown in 2 Maccabees 15:14–17; an intercession on behalf of Israel by the late high priest Onias III plus that of Jeremiah, the prophet who died almost 400 years earlier. "And Onias spoke, saying, 'This is a man who loves the brethren and prays much for the people and the holy city, Jeremiah, the prophet of God.'


>>Then he tells me that Mother Mary is just a regular sinner and shouldn't be prayed to like we do.
Cringe.
