Christ cannot provide graces to Mary that He doesn't provide to others?

But this shows you do not understand "justification" either.

All men are fallen and we sin until we breath our last breathe. But by the grace of God, Christ has paid for every one of those sins which enables us to stand blameless and acquitted of our trespasses before God. As we are sanctified by the Holy Spirit we learn to loathe our sins; we are turned by the will of God from the darkness to the light, and we will sin less and less. But we will never be without sin because we are still creatures, still human, still dependent on Him alone.

Mary is the Mother of God

No, to believe that would be to believe something predated God Himself. Blasphemy.

Mary is the mother of the man, Jesus Christ. As has been asked repeatedly and correctly, is Mary the mother of the Godhead?

No.

When a Protestant sees a Catholic on his knees before a statue of Mary, we say a prayer for your salvation. It's no small thing "to fall down to the stock of a tree."

This is the first piece of definitive, no question in my simple Orthodox mind, heresy I've seen you post, Dr.E. What part or parts of "Protestantism" share your at a minimum Nestorian and very likely Arian heretical theology? Are you a Jehovah's Witness or a Unitarian?

And that makes Calvinism equal to Arianism.
