It is wrong on so many levels. And it is wrong because of fundamental Roman Catholic doctrine that denies that the faithful of the Old Testament were saved by grace through faith in the promised Savior.

No. Mary was not awaiting a savior to come like the saints of the old testament. Her spirit had rejoiced in her Savior because she had already been blessed.

Sorry, this is a talking point not an argument. That is all you have, talking points, to be repeated until you simply wear out the opposition. But you know what, that may work in politics (although it really doesn’t work there either), but it does not and will not work with the royal priesthood that is Christ’s holy people, holy by grace through faith, bonded together not by the threats of papal power but by the unity the Spirit of God supplies.

I will give you this, however, that you give your talking points with self-typed words that could be your own instead of simply giving boilerplate links. You know your Roman doctrine. You just don’t seem to be able to truly set it against the Scriptures and let God’s word highlight its many, many shortcomings and falsities.
