Correct, further, although not recorded, I personally suspect that Mary was with the disciples when Jesus/Yeshua breathed on them and said "receive the holy spirit", the firstborn of the 2nd covenant church. This is when I believe the disciples and Mary were saved, for their previous belief was not in a resurrected Lord, until that moment. The presence of Christ entered them.

Yet later, the 120 received the power of the Holy Spirit; does anyone think Mary was there, with the faithful, those waiting for the promise of Jesus:

he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me, 5 for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

and "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth."

Personally suspect??
That’s how a lot of sects get their start.

I believe that Jesus was issuing a command to them, and that they didn’t receive the Holy Ghost at that moment, but later, on Pentecost.

Before the crucifixion, Jesus told Peter “when though art converted strengthen the brethern”. That conversion was on Pentecost, where Mary received the Spirit as well.

In Acts 11, Peter, when ‘called on the carpet’ for preaching to the Gentiles (in Acts 10) responded: “And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, AS ON US AT THE BEGINNING.” (vs 15)

Lord bless
