Yes, but the infant Jesus was not Elizabeth's Lord in an eartly way. By earthly ways, Jesus was a fetus swelling within the body of a lowly woman. She can ONLY have meant it in the divine way. Of course I said that already, you simply chose to ignore it.
>>If it had a mother, it isn't God, can't be God. Mary is not the mother of Jesus' Deity. <<
That's the Jewish argument for why Jesus cannot be God.

Not at all. Jesus was Lord from conception on. And He was God from eternity. And Mary, who did not exist from eternity past, was not the mother of that Deity. Nor, by defnition, could Deity have a human mother.
This is Biblical ABC.
Look, if you're RC, just say "I believe this because The Church{tm} tells me to, no matter what the Bible or logic say," and let's be done with it.

"That's the Jewish argument for why Jesus cannot be God"Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. - (John 4:22 KJV)
Jesus seems to have confidence in the Jews' view of whom they worship. They just didn't get the Messiah part right. The flesh was a veil that hid/hides the glory/deity of God from them.
