Mary’s title, given to her by the angel Gabriel says it all “Filled with Grace.” One cannot have this title and sin.

Really...So Stephen never sinned...

Do you know the meaning of the word ‘title’?

Luke Chapter 1 (various)

⁵ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

⁶ And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

 

⁴¹ And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

⁶⁷ And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

 

⁴⁵ And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Elisabeth and Zacharias were both righteous, AND filled with the Holy Ghost:   This was NOT recorded about Mary.

 

Mary was blessed because of BELIEF; not Obedience.
