Mary is already full of grace even though Jesus has not been born and atoned for sins yet, in contrast to every other believer who will not receive grace until after the Crucifixion.

So did Jesus forget this when he said that John the Baptist was the greatest born of women (Matthew 11:11)?

Must be.

But then again, a certain denomination is continually finding fault with what God said in His word and correcting it for Him and informing us of that.

No, but he was not forgetting about himself, either; he goes on to say that the least in the kingdom of heaven are greater than John, and he further indicates that he is specifically comparing John to the prophetic figures of the OT ("the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John").
