Mary was not free from sin as believed by catholics in the immaculate conception.
Why?
She offered a sin offering after Christ was born per Luke 2:21-24. This would be in accordance with Lev 12:8.
But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’” (Lev 12:8 NASB)
If Mary was free from sin, why would she need the sin offering?
Is anxiety a sin? Many consider be anxious a sin. We see Mary admitting she was anxious over Jesus in Luke 2:48. Again, if she is sinless she cannot be anxious.
So here are two proofs from the Word you asked for on this topic.
Mary was not sinless, was not born sinless, she was a sinner just as you and I.

My response:
This does not prove that Mary had sinned.
Mary would do this a the custom of Jews of that day after birth of a child. This was considered unclean, but giving birth is not a sin.
Mary may not have been informed that she was free from sin (I do not know).
Mary may not want to disclose her special status (Again, I do not know).
Anxiety? All humans have anxiety. Why would that be a sin?
Nice try. But you are really stretching it!
