That denies our free will... Would you apply the same standard to Eve?

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

Adam and Eve had as close to free will as any because they were sinless.
Once sin entered the world, that option was lost.

That denies our free will... Would you apply the same standard to Eve? Yet, according to Roman Catholicism, Mary was "preserved without sin from the moment of her conception". Would God have done that for her if there was any possibility she would have told him no? And, if she HAD said no, would she just go back to being like every other human ever born and be a sinner?
