I suspect yes but I don't want to be uncharitable.

What do you guys think?

This is an interesting topic. I was immediately reminded of the movie: "When we were soldiers" (Mel Gibson, 2002).
Part of a dialogue "Mel" is having with his children:
Moore: Cecile? I don't hear you praying, honey.
Cecile: I don't wanna be a Catholic! I wanna be a Nethodist like Mommy!
Moore: A-and why's that?
Cecile: So I can pray whatever I want.
Older Brother: That's a sin!
Moore: Oh, no-no-no, that's not a sin. God just made you hard-headed. It's not a sin. Uh, I'll tell you what. You wanna, you wanna pray and thank God for our family?

And he begins with: Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with Thee....

I'm sure the Prots would come out with all the 'bible verses' concerning this:(Little do they understand some of that 'bible' they carry, is a remnant of a robbed and looted BIBLE from the Catholics).
But to the point, many Catholic priests and the writings of the Saints (St. Therese of Lisieux)would also tell us we must also pray to God, in our own words. Our Blessed Lady has said the same. (For those who want citations, dates, titles etc...don't bother).

But to address the question...well, all I can say at this moment is: Who knows the mind of God? and to beg the question further: What do we know from Traditional Catholic teaching?

Why wouldn't God listen to their prays if they are truly striving to love God with all their hearts and being obedient to all the commandments according to the light they've been given by the Holy Spirit? Most Protestants are material heretics who don't know any better. They've been indoctrinated with Protestant errors their whole lives. I might add that oftentimes Protestants put Catholics to shame.

.........................
My conscience compels me to make this disclaimer lest God judges me partly culpable for the errors and heresy promoted on this forum... For the record I support neither Sedevacantism or the SSPX. I do not define myself as either a traditionalist or Novus Ordo Catholic, I am a Catholic period. I am simply trying my best to live a holy life in obedience and submission the Holy Father and the eternal truths as taught by Holy Mother Church.

"By withdrawing submission from the Holy Father and the faithful in communion with him, Sedevacantists are schismatic and hence automatically excommunicated from the Church under both Divine and ecclesiastical law (canon 1325, par. 2)."
