All men are "totally depraved" unless and until God gives them the free gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit to turn their corrupted natures and sinful minds to Christ alone.
If Mary were here right now, she would side with Protestants who read their Bibles and know that all men are fallen and none is righteous but God.
Mary was saved the same way any man is saved - by God's grace through Christ's righteousness mercifully imputed to him.
No wonder RCs dismiss Paul (and thus half the New Testament.) He contradicts them continually.

"No wonder RCs dismiss Paul (and thus half the New Testament.) He contradicts them continually." No, you have it backwards: They contradict him (Paul, Scripture) continually...
...and guess who came first...

If Mary were here right now…I doubt she would appreciate you saying she was completely corrupt, wicked, and perverted.
I doubt her Son would appreciate it either.
