The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

You can't even be a Christian without believing in saints.

>…I believe in the Holy Spirit, holy Catholic Church, communion of saints….

No, you cant. But you don't have to ask for their intercession or venerate them. But you have to admit the validity of it.

No, you would just be a heretic. From the Summa Theologiae.

>Neither living nor lifeless faith remains in a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith.

>The reason of this is that the species of every habit depends on the formal aspect of the object, without which the species of the habit cannot remain. Now the formal object of faith is the First Truth, as manifested in Holy Writ and the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth. Consequently whoever does not adhere, as to an infallible and Divine rule, to the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth manifested in Holy Writ, has not the habit of faith, but holds that which is of faith otherwise than by faith. Even so, it is evident that a man whose mind holds a conclusion without knowing how it is proved, has not scientific knowledge, but merely an opinion about it. Now it is manifest that he who adheres to the teaching of the Church, as to an infallible rule, assents to whatever the Church teaches; otherwise, if, of the things taught by the Church, he holds what he chooses to hold, and rejects what he chooses to reject, he no longer adheres to the teaching of the Church as to an infallible rule, but to his own will. Hence it is evident that a heretic who obstinately disbelieves one article of faith, is not prepared to follow the teaching of the Church in all things; but if he is not obstinate, he is no longer in heresy but only in error. Therefore it is clear that such a heretic with regard to one article has no faith in the other articles, but only a kind of opinion in accordance with his own will.

This particular doctrine is not even an obscure one. Walk into any Novus Ordo mass and the whole congregation says aloud every mass, "… therefore I ask, Blessed Mary, Ever Virgin, all the angels and saints, and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the Lord our God."
