Catholics believe that Mary was preserved from sin by God, ahead of time, from the beginning of time, because He knew the whole story: how Adam and Eve would fall, why it would be necessary to have a Savior, etc., etc. God knew the whole thing and so He had a plan, and Mary was part of that plan. We believe He preserved her from the stain of sin. She still needed a Savior, because she was human, but she didn't carry the stain of sin. God planned it that way. His way works. Why wouldn't He do this for the woman He chose to bring His son into the human world?

She still needed a Savior, because she was human, but she didn't carry the stain of sin. In your world, what's she need to be saved from? Most people need to be saved from sin. What's her need?

Why should He? God can do anything, including bring a Savior into the world thru a human woman. God never contradicts His Word. His Word says all have sinned. It nowhere states that 2 people are sinless.
