Catholic Aspects in Non-Catholic Christianity

Are non-Catholic Christians allowed to honor the saints and pray the rosary? These aspects of Catholicism appeal to me but I don't want to become Catholic.

Orthodox Christians also honor the Saints, and we have something similar to the Rosary. We say the Jesus Prayer on a prayer rope ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner"). St. Seraphim of Sarov also had his own version of the Rosary.

Martin Luther, " whoever possess a good firm faith says the Hail Mary without danger. Whoever is weak of faith can utter no Hail Mary without danger to his salvation." Luther was certainly opposed to any 'intercession' of Mary on her own merit.
