Does the condition of Marys soul matter to our salvation? No. Jesus was sinless because of His divine nature. Sin comes from within, not from without.
Matthew 15:17-20 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone."
Jesus is not defiled with physical contact with sinful people. If that were the case, He would have been defiled the first time he touched anyone but his mother.

No. Jesus was sinless because of His divine nature. Sin comes from within, not from without.Exactly ! Jesus inherited His divinity FROM HIS DADS SIDE OF THE FAMILY..:)
Mom did not contribute to His divinity, She contributed His humanity.. and we do run ino a problem here..for if mom was a goddess and we know his Father is a Holy and Righteous God.. from where did Jesus get His humanity.. ...Just askin

More strawmen.
Church teaching is that Christ's sacrifice was super-sufficient for our Salvation.
Christ's sinlessness was because of His divine nature -- That is Church teaching.
Church teaching is that Mary contributed towards the Human nature of the One entity that is Christ, she did not contribute (how could she?) to His divinity -- if you believe that, you are not following Church teaching.
