That might be your motive if you were a Christian, however that's not how it works in Christianity or with God, God listens to sincere pray, He has no use for hypocrisy.
Why do atheist believe that hypocrisy is a part of Christianity when Jesus spoke severely against it. I do not doubt that some Christians do that, but its not part of Christianity, as I said God has no use for it and if that's the reason for one's prayers then one should not expect an answer. Being a conscientious Christian helps others.
Why is it when someone is sincere in an answer people like you have to be arrogant, is it a habit or do you love being that way?
I don't necessarily doubt your sincerity, just your ability to answer for the whole of Christendom. The question you highlighted and answered was why you need to tell others you will pray for them, not why you pray. Arguably subtle difference, maybe, except often the compulsion to tell someone this is as a slur. Doesn't matter if you like the reasoning, it happens.
Oh, raised a Christian, I suppose the arrogance is habit.
