Is it morally fitting that we should be called collaborators and Co-redeemers with God?

As baptized, regenerate people,
we all share in the “Common Priesthood of all the Faithful,”
so yes, in that sense, all Christians are collaborators and co-redeemers
with God, because our prayers and personal sacrifices and penances,
offered to God in union with Christ’s sacrifice, help to bring to them
the Graces of conversion, perseverance, and many other temporal, physical,
health, and even financial blessings too.

CCC 1993 Justification establishes cooperation between God’s grace and man’s freedom. On man’s part it is expressed by the assent of faith to the Word of God, which invites him to conversion, and in the cooperation of charity with the prompting of the Holy Spirit who precedes and preserves his assent:
When God touches man’s heart through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, man himself is not inactive while receiving that inspiration, since he could reject it; and yet, without God’s grace, he cannot by his own free will move himself toward justice in God’s sight.

Since any Christian can intercede for others, we can consider ourselves co-redemptorists to a limited degree.
Example:
Good parents raise their children to be good Catholics. Are they not interceding between God and the childred? Are they not making more likely the salvation of their children?
