I grew up evangelical, and the way evangelicals use the cross this argument makes sense. But the catholic crucifix as a depiction of the suffering of Christ makes more sense as a symbol to put a believer’s mind and heart in the right place for supplication.

Agreed. Catholicism for all its faults has used for its iconography. With evalgelicalism it's just a weird, disembodied torture machine.
