The dead knows nothing. How could the dead pray for you? It is ridiculous how idolaters pray for intercession from the dead. Jesus is the first born of the resurrection and in Him will we have life everlasting and all must wait until the day of judgment comes when both the righteous and wicked will be raised.
Who decides who is holy and not when it is written that it is Jesus to whom God has entrusted all judgement will be our judge based on the righteousness and truth that has been made known to us? Many things are hidden from those who do not have the Spirit in them. What then qualifies a man to decide for the holiness of another?
Deception has covered the eyes of many and if only by the rotting of the flesh and questionable wonders done after a person's death shall holiness be judged then many teachings will be put to shame.
For who knows what is in the heart of a person and what he has done in secret? Only the the Spirit of the God which is the Spirit of Truth.
Therefore, persevere holiness even when no one is watching for what you have done in secret will be put to light and darkness will be thrown out. Do not be caught doing shameful things when truth is exposed. The wicked may deceive the world but it cannot deceive the Spirit of Truth.
For we do not know completely what each person carries in his heart and so who are we to pass on judgment? No one knows what a kind person really thinks when he is alone.
Let us give this credit to the Lord. Let Jesus be our judge alone. And as we wait, let us pursue living in the righteousness of the Lord and pray for one another that when the day of judgment comes, we will be found faithful according to our deeds while we are still in the world.
Pray constantly that God forgives us our sins and be washed by the blood of His Son Jesus Christ. For by doing so, we give importance and value to His death for it is why His blood flowed out as atonement for the sins of the world. A perfect sacrifice. And so that made Him our only way to salvation.
So set your eyes directly on Jesus. With a grateful heart present your prayers to God and if your desires are in line with His will for you, your prayers will be granted and your needs be met according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Ecclesiastes 9:5-6For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. 6 Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:10" Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."
