I get Cannot use object of type WP_Query when using the $posts variable in the if/while loop. So I simply changed the variable to $query or whatever in order for it to work without an error.

Exactly what I was looking for. I just copied and paste and change with my custom post type name. It's working excellent. Thank you!
