Are you making up words again?

No Orthodox Church beleives Mary is a “a mediatrix or co-redemptress”. Further the Orthodox assuredly beleive Mary needed to be saved, which is why she says in Holy Scripture that Christ has saved all of us (inclusive) instead of all of you.

As for the intercession of the saints it’s mentioned in the Bible.

As for Mary’s Body where precisly do you folks beleive it is?

Yes, the Catholic Church also believes that, and is encapsulated in the doctrine in the Immaculate Conception, which states that the merits of Christ's Redemptive Acts were applied to Mary preemptively.

Also, it should be clarified, if memory serves, that the Orthodox believe that Mary never committed one personal sin.

Probably along side her new son, Apostle John. Find John and you'll find Mary. (Ask a rediculous question and get a rediculous answer.)

FYI the absence of a body proves nothing.
