Many Protestants seem to think that the Catholic position is that Mary had somehow "earned" Christ by being the best person (works righteousness), or that we believe that she could have gotten to Heaven on her own (again because she was such a "good" person. Neither of the above is true (quasi-Catholic voodoo types in Brazil notwithstanding).

It is difficult for Protestants to really know what the Catholic position on Mary really is.

A quote from Pelayo:

"I don't know why? It is an easy one. Mary was Immaculately Conceived for the sole purpose of being Christ's mother. Thus the cause of her sinlessness was Christ

What kind of quasi... would say this?

This is the second time one of the RC's has tried to say that she needed a Saviour because she sinned, just as we do, yet they also said she was sinless. Is this supposed to make sense? IMO they don't have a good explanation and they are grasping are desperately trying to come up with an explanation.
