Salvation: >>After all, she is a lot closer to him than we are.<<

CB: So you don’t believe that all believers can go directly to the Father?

In Him I live and move and have my being. Christ in me, the hope of glory.

We are already seated with Him in the heavenly places. The Spirit of Christ dwells in our hearts by faith.

I don't know how much closer one can get to God than having Him live IN you.

But if someone wants to claim that Mary is closer to God than they are, I suppose it's not likely too far from the truth.

Exactly. For those who are Catholics it’s evident that they don’t have that closeness with Christ or the access to the Father in Jesus name that true Christians do.
