So if Mary was sinless, she didn’t need a savior.

Could you really be claiming that Mary never sinned?

You really need to read your Bible.

Romans 3:23 - “for ALL HAVE SINNED and fall short of the glory of God”

Romans 3:10 “NONE IS RIGHTEOUS, no, not one”

No, Catholic doctrine does not claim that Mary never committed a single sin, no matter how slight.

We do believe that she was born without the taint of Original Sin that all the other exiled children of Eve have borne.

And, since protestants don’t believe that we are born with the stigma of original sin anyway, they shouldn’t have any problem with the proposition that Mary was not.

Obviously these passages are not meant to be taken literaly, otherwise it would mean Christ was a sinner.

The Scriptures predict the Church's glorification of Mary. See Luke 1:48, "From now on all generations will call me blessed."
