Ummmm your catechism clearly teaches that you do worship Mary unless you don’t understand the meaning of worship???? Or maybe you don’t believe your own catechism??? Or perhaps you’d like to explain why Mary if the focal point at the altar of a Catholic Church if SHE isn’t the one being worshipped?
But that’s okay. You go ahead and trust Mary for your salvation and the sacraments and ‘traditions’. Hope that works out for you.
I on the other hand will throw myself at the foot of the cross and trust Christ and Christ alone depending on His mercy through His atonement (not Mary’s). Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Sola Christos, Sola Scriptura.
Nothing you've quoted so far says "worship" "Mary."
YOU say it. The Catechism does not.
Sola scriptura does not appear in Scripture. Luther famously tried to ADD sola fide to Scripture, but failed.

Very well, accurately and profoundly put. Thanks.
I thank God that I am not as other men are.
