**I hate to say it, but Mary is not a “real person” anymore**
Yes, she was and ISa real person. What are you going to say to Christ at the moment of your particular judgment (the moment of your death) when He asks you why you didn’t honor his Mother and Mother of God?
I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes right then!
I doubt He’ll ask that, dear Salvation. He is most likely to ask what you did with His Son, Jesus. THAT is the pivot point.
