apparently your knowledge of the Assumption of Mary’s Body into Heaven is scanty.

Apostles were transported from around the world to her bedside to witness her dormition and eventually being carried to heaven by angels.

I know you don’t believe it, but if you do enough digging you will find the quotes with the Early Church Fathers.

PS. What will you say to the Blessed Virgin Mary upon the moment of your death and you find out that you didn’t believe?

Otherwise known as the "step on a crack" apologetic....

Yes, you’re right, I don’t believe that fairy tale. I trust in the words of Scripture. If something as remarkable as Mary’s Assumption into Heaven were true, it would have been referenced by those penning the words of Scripture.

I’ll say “Hi” to Jesus’ mom when I see her. She’ll say “Hi” back, I’m pretty sure, and then will introduce me to the other children she begat.

Why do you think that Mary will question me upon my death as to whether I believe in her?

She’s not the Godhead, she’s not part of the Trinity, she’s just another human born into sin and saved by grace.

Do you think Paul will also ask me if I believe in him? How about Silas, or Mary Magdalena? Will there be a long line of Christian-era saints all asking me if I believed in them?

Of course not not. In fact Jesus says the question He will ask is “Did you feed my sheep, did you give water to the thirsty” not “Did you believe in my Mother?”
