Filter routes in BGP

In BGP I am trying to prevent the 10.0.0.0/8 from being advertised to
the neighbor

So in bgp I put the following statements below under the route process
however I still see the route in the neighbor table. However if I
change the prefix list to an access list the distribute -list works just
fine. So is it true that I cannot call a prefix list in a
distribute-list. Now I know that I can apply the prefix list directly
to the neighbor and it works fine however still confused as to why I
cannot call the prefix in the distribute.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} distribute-list
{access-list-number | expanded-list-number | access-list-name |
prefix-list-name} {in | out}

Thanks

router bgp 65522

neighbor 150.50.1.1 distribute-list FILTER out

ip prefix-list FILTER seq 5 deny 10.0.0.0/8

ip prefix-list FILTER seq 10 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32
