“ALL have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. WOMEN AND MEN.”
...you have it! You finally get it!!! Including Mary!
“Mary was the only one preserved from sin, that was to bear Christ.”
...drat. You lost it.
It’s amazing to see the contradiction so plainly stated by you and yet... it is believed by you. I don’t get it.
If Mary was sinless, she needed no savior. Yet, she offered sacrifices for her sins... she called Jesus her savior... Someone who is sinless need do neither thing.
“Mary was saved from all stain of original sin;”
I’m sure you wouldn’t mind sourcing that to scripture...??

It's just
They never seem to tire spinning them and foisting them on the sheeple.
We are saved by Christ Jesus after we are born into sin; Mary was preserved from that by Christ Jesus, her Savior, before she was born. She still needed her Savior, Christ was her Savior as He is ours.
This discussion is fruitless. It makes no difference if I explain my beliefs, you (plural) give no evidence that you (plural) care what they are. It appears that you (plural) are simply playing gotcha, forgetting that we Catholics are not limited as you are to Holy Scripture, but also have Holy Tradition to guide us.
