→2 Maccabees 12:13-16 clearly shows the Saints in Heaven (even OT Saints like Abraham, Jeremiah, Onias etc) are alive and pray for us
See Mark 12: "26But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

The Sadducees accepted only the Pentateuch, hence Christ refuted them from those Books itself. God, the God of Abraham and Isaac, is the God of the Living. This means that Abraham and Isaac are living in Heaven, not dead. To say otherwise is to have become a Sadducee.

See also: "(The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels '''nor spirits''', but the Pharisees believe all these things.)" (Acts 23:8) where Luke explains the false beliefs of the Sadducees. By "spirits" here is meant Souls in Heaven.
