“So if Mary was sinless, she didn’t need a savior. Could you really be claiming that Mary never sinned?”
No, Catholic doctrine does not claim that Mary never committed a single sin, no matter how slight.
We do believe that she was born without the taint of Original Sin that all the other exiled children of Eve have borne.
And, since protestants don’t believe that we are born with the stigma of original sin anyway, they shouldn’t have any problem with the proposition that Mary was not.

Just wow, this is once again laughable “catholic” doctrine the Bible clearly states that all men are born into sin through Adam. Your prayers to Mary have no effect, she has died and did not rise again.
Wow, that's a NEW one! So, you do not consider her to be "the most pure" who chose not to sin all her life?
dsc, your interpretation smacks of Jansenism.
