“The ACTUAL Dogma(MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS) uses many references about Mary dying before being Assumed into heaven and DOES NOT say she was alive before being Assumed into heaven.”
Shows what I know! :)In fact, it is quite clear that she had indeed died before the Assumption.
"By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory" [+Pius XII, 1950]
