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

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

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!”

Yes, he was. The Bible says, “all have sinned.”. It does not add, “except Mary.”
