When she declared ‘let is be done to me according to thy word...’ she had no idea what Joseph’s reaction would be... and no idea if she might meet the fate of an adulterer.

(Please tell me how the words "shall not perish and have everlasting life" would NOT apply to Mary.)

All we KNOW is what Scripture records:
Luke 1:38
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Remember that Mary went to be with Elizabeth for 3 months, and then returned home just before John was born.

Yeah, with her total lack of faith in God and what the angel said I can see how she would have been afraid. (sarc)
