you read about an adorned woman [...] and so you conclude that the woman is Mary

I conclude that the woman in Mary because in verse 5 she is giving physical birth to a son, and in verse 10 the Son is identified as Christ. That is why I conclude that she is Mary, quite regardless of who else happens to be called "woman", and certainly regardless of whether she happens to be adorned.

Did I not make that connection, to the verses 5 and 10 in particular, clear before?

Now, the woman is also adorned with a crown and other signs of sanctity and majesty. So "Queen" kind of summarizes it. Again, were you to read the scripture honestly for what it says, this would be a good moment to critically reassess the Protestant counterscriptural dogma that Mary cannon possibly be seen as Queen, bedcause this is how she is described by St. John, her adopted son, in the scripture you hold to be the single rule of your faith.

Whenever the word is ‘woman’ it is referring to Israel.
