Thank you for your explanation, Salvation. A counter argument would necessarily be "If Jesus needed a pure womb to be pure, then so would have Mary."
However, your answer is the first time I've ever been given an answer to my question. Thank you very much for that.
And, since it is the first time I've received an answer, then I'll take time to reflect on it until I rely on a quick, brash response to a very well-meaning, longtime Christian FRiend.
See if this helps. Mary was the second "Ark of the Covenant" The first Ark was made pure through fire. The dross was skimmed off when the gold was melted at the moment of it's "conception." Even though it was made by human hands it was pure and holy. So much so that Uzzah was killed for touching it. The Ark contained, the manna, Aaron's rod (Considered the word of God through the prophets), and the ten Commandments.
In her womb Mary carried Jesus, He referred to himself as the bread of life, John referred to Him as the "Word of God", and He was the fulfillment of the law.

God made her pure at her conception with out the use of fire.
Sorry for the double posting. Left off the last sentence.
