I'm not claiming that there is a "co-savior."

Then you must deny your own catechism because it does.

In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.509

Her role in relation to the Church and to all humanity goes still further. "In a wholly singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls.

Only God can 'deliver our souls' only God can 'restore supernatural life to souls'. If you can't see the blasphemy in these statements there is no help for you.

It does not.

You again misinterpret the teaching of the Church.

Why do yoi ignore the opening statement that Mary's role can not be understood apart from her union with her Son?

You want to rip Mary's role out of context to prove that we elevte her to a diety status. It is you who do so.

You also can't seem to read English very well, but we proved that yesterday.

In the first excrerpt, Mary is praying to her Son to deliver our souls. She has no power of her own.

In the second, you totally miss the phrase "the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls." Mary may cooperate because of who she is, but guess what? Other believers co-operate in the salvation of others all the time.

Someone helped you find Christ.
