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.

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.

Do the Orthodox agree with Rome here, Kawaii?

Do the Orthodox believe in the Assumption?
