The scripture says “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”, not “all but Mary have sinned...”.

According to our Roman Catholic FRiends all doesn’t mean all.

So is that piece of scripture telling us that Gabriel - the angel of the Annunciation - was a fallen angel?
After all the scripture says “all have sinned.” It doesn’t say “all but Gabriel have sinned”.
Using the Bible in an arid and reductive manner quickly leads you into absurdities.

This is a more complicated verse that first meets the eye. Jesus never sinned of course -- yet He was True God and True Man, possessing full Humanity.
In that scripture passage you refer to, it was being stated that Jews are not above gentiles, as we are all justified by faith alone.

Remember: the words of the Angel Gabriel to Mary - as given by scripture - were
Chaire, Kecharitomene
“Hail, Full of Grace”.
The words of the Archangel show that Mary was full of grace – that she was without sin.
