What a perfect example of someone applying
"The Lego Block Method of Interpretation" where they take whatever verse or group of words they please out of context and string them together with whatever else suits their preconception at the moment.
It's gotten very, very, clear to me how wise those who put the CCC together were and why it goes into such great detail on everything leading up to each point. It has to in order to counteract the tens of thousands of errant interpretations people spin out each and every day to suit themselves.
Twenty seconds in any search engine shows what Church dogma is, including the FACT that the Church teaches the sacrifice of Christ is complete, sufficient, and that no one can add to it. We, as Mary did, can cooperate with Christ, but we cannot add to anything He does nor can we in any way obtain salvation other than through Christ alone.
CCC 454
The title "Son of God" signifies the unique and eternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the only Son of the father (Jn 1:14,18; 3:16, 18); he is God himself (Jn 1:1) To be a Christian, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
CCC 455
The Title "Lord" indicates divine sovereignty. To confess or invoke Jesus as Lord is to believe in his divinity. "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit".(I Cor 12:3)
CCC 618
The cross is the unique sacrifice of Christ, the "one mediator between God and men."(I Tim 2:5) ...
Obviously, those who are deliberately trying to keep others from recognizing His One True Church will apply their usual technique of taking things out of context or pretending that anything not explained in a single sentence is an error.
Anyone who is honestly interested can read the CCC with their Bible handy to keep up with the thousands of Scripture references it makes and see the truth. That truth is that the Catholic teaches the same three things that the Protestant evangelicals claim make for a Christian Church, Salvation by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone. The only difference is that the Catholic Church believes the WHOLE Scripture and recognizes that Faith without works is dead, dead, dead, and dead. What meager bits of effort Protestants like to scream and wave their "works salvation" banner over pale by comparison to the work of actually taking the first step and accepting that Christ is the Lord. If taking that step is not work, than nothing the Church teaches is a work either.

Friend, what YOU'VE got is a “Lego Block Theology”.

8. The power thus put into her hands is all but unlimited. How unerringly right, then, are Christian souls when they turn to Mary for help as though impelled by an instinct of nature, confidently sharing with her their future hopes and past achievements, their sorrows and joys, commending themselves like children to the care of a bountiful mother. How rightly, too, has every nation and every liturgy without exception acclaimed her great renown, which has grown greater with the voice of each succeeding century. Among her many other titles we find her hailed as “our Lady, our Mediatrix,”[3] “the Reparatrix of the whole world,”[4] “the Dispenser of all heavenly gifts.”[5]
