I don't deny the Rapture. I'd say Mary was definitely Raptured. :o)

You have absolutely no Biblical evidence of that. Only the doctrine of assumption of Enoch and Elijah can lay claim to that

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Cor. 15:22 AV).

All must die. Enoch and Elijah have yet to die the natural death. Even Jesus had to die because of sin. All beings having Adam's flesh DNA must die. Mary died. Her flesh body is dead.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation" (Heb 9:27,28 AV).

Her earthly body is in the grave. Though especially blessed, she needed a Savior (Lk. 1:47).

The only assumption we can rely on is that her soul and spirit that constitute her personality is in heaven, longing for the sinless body yet to come. Mary will get hers when every other regenerated saint does, and that is when we go to meet Him in the clouds.

Nobody, repeat nobody, except Jesus, has yet donned the new sinless, bloodless spiritual body.
