Anything Mary can do she can do because of the Grace of God. She can do nothing on her own. NOTHING. She is a very blessed creature, not divine. You get kicked out if you believe otherwise.

Would believing Mary has the power to take people from purgatory to heaven be over the line?

Would believing Mary can cause prayers to get special attention be over the line?

Would believing Mary can listen to millions of prayers simultaneously and discern which are worthy of special attention be over the line?

Would believing Mary was born with out sin and never sinned be over the line?

Where does this line get drawn?

The line is drawn, (My guess, okay?) whenever anyone says the things that Mary can do are intrinsic to her rather than gifts from God.

If a Catholic believes any of those things can be done by Mary without the Grace of God, then yes, they are all over the line. But Catholics don’t believe that Mary can do anything without the Grace of God. If you believe Mary can do these thing on her own you get kicked out.
