Those whom God exalted throughout the Bible were those who were humble before Him, recognizing that He alone is holy but they were sinners.

The people who don’t acknowledge their sin and need for salvation are those who will condemned. Mary is one of the former group, and that group, though God is pleased with them, still needed a Savior, or else Jesus died for nothing.

There’s nothing but Catholic dogma that says Mary had to be sinless, and it isn’t able to explain how Mary could be sinless coming from her sinful parents. One Catholic told me it was a special act of God. So it can be done for Mary, but not for Jesus, who was God Himself? God needs no cleansing. If you believe He’s God, that’s enough for Him to be sinless. God the Father condescended that His Son would come Cont’d

gobbledegook, sorry, you are making no sense. If Mary hadn’t been sinless, she could not have held Jesus.
