Christ rebuked and corrected the woman who blessed Mary...

Calvin would have us believe that Gabriel's words at the Annunciation left Jesus quite miffed.

Gabriel's words informed Mary that God had declared she would carry the Christ child to term.

Regarding her salvation and her human nature, Mary was no better or worse than any Christian who is saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Any thing else, certainly the Mariology of the RCC, is idolatry since it gives to a creature the glory that belongs to God alone.
