Only one sinless person ever walked the earth and even he was tempted by Satan. .... for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God ...

Was Mary tempted? ... no doubt in my mind.
Did she give in to that temptation? Now that is a different question.

Yup. I have known only a few people who said they had never doubted their faith.

And I didn’t believe them. Mary was as human and subject to human frailty as anyone else.

Spiritual merit is acquired by overcoming temptation, not by being born with some inherent resistance to it.

IMO
