For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 NASB

Rome's position contradicts the New Testament.

It's Mary's own admission that she was a sinner. She called God *my savior*.

If she had been without sin, then she wouldn't have needed a savior.

Luke 1:46 And Mary said,“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

And while Scripture doesn't list them, and neither does Mary, fear and worry are two we can see.

Luke 1:29-30 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

Luke 2:48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”

But honestly, your request is downright stupid.

Scripture does not make a point of listing every major players sins nor is it important to know the specifics. The lack of listing them is not proof that they don't exist. Nor is God obligated to include such details for your morbid curiosity.

It's enough to know this.

Romans 3:21-25 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.
