You attend a sect’s assembly. Remember your sect was started less than 500 years ago. It is a sect, not a church.

“...where the word of God is preached,...”

Where the pastor’s current opinions are preached. They might change... tomorrow in fact. They are just his opinions and some of them didn’t even exist before 1500.

“...not heresies, such as a sinless Mary who we are supposed to pray to, or the sacrifice of the mass, because Jesus death on the cross was sufficient enough.”

What is preached there is obviously ignorance. Mary’s sinlessness is not a heresy nor could you ever have the authority to conclude it is such as long as you are just a sectarian anyway. Also, Christ’s death on the cross was sufficient and THAT IS the sacrifice of the Mass. Again, are you sure you were really Catholic? Oh, that’s right. Ceiling. Watch.

What you couldn’t learn when ignoring your pastor:

Five hundred years ago the reformation exposed the heresies of Rome and it’s system.

You’re wrong. You and your church have no authority to claim and teach that Mary was sinless. That is attempting to add to scripture - find out what happens to people who do that in the Book of Revelation.

There is nothing to suggest anywhere in the Bible that Mary was sinless.

Have you ever heard of any of the popes refer to Mary as the Queen of heaven ?
