Show me in Scripture where Mary ascends to “heaven” before death.
Show me in Scripture where Purgatory is declared by The Lord.
Crickets....I hear them.2 Kings 2:
- And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
- And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
Matthew 11:
- And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
- He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
- But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
- And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
Matthew 27:
- Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
- And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
- And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
- And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Luke 12:
- Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
- And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
- Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
- And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
- And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
- Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
- Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
- And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
- Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
- Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
- But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
- The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
- And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
- But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

You’ve quoted several passages yet none support your positions.

Not a single one of those verses demonstrates ANY of the claims Catholicism makes about Mary.
She’s not mentioned ONCE in any of those passages.
Luke 12 has nothing to do with the subject at all.
