OK, these do indicate that all men are generally sinners. We consider Mary and a few others an exception to the broad statements you quote.

It means that all men specifically are sinners.

You have no scriptural or apostolic authority to back up your claim that Mary never sinned. Thus she must be included in the "all" in Romans 3:23 and Romans 5:12. She must also be included in the "none" in Mark 10:18 and if she herself claimed to have no sin, then she would have to be numbered among the deceived in 1 John 1:8.

She called Jesus her savior. If she were without sin, then she would be without a need for a savior.

Unless you can come up with some scriptural references to Mary's perfection, we really don't have anything further to discuss on this issue.
