Nonetheless, despite your spin and exegetical gyrations, Catholic teaching does not make Mary a deity, neither explicitly nor by effect.Perhaps you would be kind enough to explicitly define the terms 'co-redemptrix' and 'co-mediatrix', and how Mary came to win those titles, because to a Protestant mind, the 'co' prefix suggests partnership, and suggests a role in redemption and intercession that we would reserve particularly and singularly to Christ. It is blasphemous to suggest otherwise.
Whatever basis you may have would be favored by Scriptural references to back them up (there's that sola-scriptura thing again, pesky Protestants...)

Co-Redemptrix is only a proposal. The co in co-mediatrix is used as in the sense of the Latin "cum" meaning with and more specifically "along with." The co used here is specifically NOT intended or described in the sense of an equal or a sine qua non.
