This alone is enough to know that the one who prays this is not treating Mary as a Divine Person. She does nothing on her own, but only in accord with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

(Ya know, logically this can be said about every person in Christ alive in heaven...Mary therefore has no special "inroad" to the Divine One...With this statement, you therefore imply that's it's laudable for people to pinpoint thousands -- even hundreds of thousands -- of people -- and begin praying to them as well as they also do "nothing on" their "own, but only in accord with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit")

I believe the word you are looking for to describe such persons is “saints”. Even among them, some are more laudable than others in how closely they follow Christ. I would say Mary, knowing him more intimately than any other, would rank near the top.
