In the Magnificat, Mary speaks of "God, my Savior." If Mary were sinless, she would have no need for a Savior. No where in the Bible does it say that anyone was sinless except Jesus.

She was saved at her conception, not after like the rest of us.

Angel Gabriel to Mary: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!" Luke 1:28

Grace is a supernatural gift from God given to men for their eternal salvation, either through salutary acts (inspired) or a state of holiness.

In other words, she was saved before the birth of our Savior.
