And yes, to the Catholic understanding, being full of grace implies freedom from original and personal sin.

Freed after experiencing depravity or excluded from the curse of Adam and never having been under the Curse?

“Spirit filled believers”

How does one become such? Was it by Baptism? The laying on of hands? Does the spirit you speak of fill one with love of God and of one’s neighbor?

The New Testament was written in Greek for a reason. There was a word that means “full” as was used for Stephen and Christ. It was NOT used for Mary. You can make up what you want but scripture says what it says. The Holy Spirit chose the words He did for a reason.

"Muslims, Mormons, and many others believe in false religions also. That doesn’t make it correct."

Your point being...?

Do you proselytize to them as well?

Right, Matt 22. No marriage. Why get married? Just took the logic for not marrying to the farthest and don’t have any reason to believe angels have gender. What happens when you are “given” in marriage?

In all the references I have read about those people who are in heaven, none refer to sex. Nations, languages, etc but not age or sex or any other details.

Galatians 3, if in regards to no longer being under the law and being neither Jew nor Greek nor male nor female, why would I be a male or female when resurrected?

We’ll see! All knowledge passes away and all things are made new. If it fits for your theology then just make sure that no one else is on that throne. It is just me and Jesus on my judgment day.

>>Putting limits on a being which is pure spirit? Of God wills it, it can and will be so.<<

I don't put limits on them. It's described in scripture. In Daniel 10 the angel was delayed and the archangel Michael went to help him.

Christ was the only sinless man to walk this earth since Adam and Eve.

I thought only the King James Version of the Bible was considered authoritative by Protestants.

Seek out a Spirit filled church in your area if you are sincere. If you are being facetious it won't matter to you.

>>Does the spirit you speak of fill one with love of God and of one’s neighbor?<<

Yes, it is what causes us to try to keep people from the deceptions of the Catholic Church. If we did not have the love for our neighbours we would just leave them in their error to suffer the consequences of paganism.

I made my point. Just believing something doesn't make it right. If it did Muslims, Mormons, and Catholics would all be right.

Just add that to your list of other things you are wrong about.

But Mary was a woman.
There is an old Catholic joke, in which Jesus confronts the crowd about to stone the adulteress with “Let the one without sin cast the first stone,” only to see a stone sail up from the back of the crowd to strike the woman. Jesus whips around and shouts,”Aw, Mom, cut it out!”

Angels can't be multiple places at one time.

If you are speaking of occupying a place in the manner of a physical body, angels are not in ANY place.

If you are speaking analogically, saying that an angel is "in" a place when he is acting in some manner in that place, then there is no limit to how many places that could be.

I am aware that many Protestant scholars study scripture in the language of origin, and that there are many and varied opinions on scripture in the multitude of Protestant sects. However, I have been told by some Protestants, including one of my teachers in high school, that only the KJV was inspired.
