Your quote from Sirach (it's great, I love it, thanks!) doesn't prove what you think it proves.

The "kecharito" formation is used as an example of what would be done by a "just" man: it's pointing out the behavior of the ideal man. Note that it is not used as a name or form of address. It

The unique, unparalleled thing with the Kecharitomene is that she is called this --- the just one, or the gracious or grace-filled one --- as a form of address, by God's messenger.

Peace, BlueDragon.

It's the same EXACT phrase save only for gender specificity.

Yourself pointing towards slightly differing usage in context (in Sirach) simply is not enough to rescue all the (phony) theological baggage that Romanist such as yourself insist belongs to the Greek term -- which Greek term was not invention of the angel who had appeared to Mary, who explained to her the how and why she had found favor with God, in verses following (Luke 1:30-33, 35-37).

This portion of your response;

indicates to me that you most likely HAD seen the previous note sent to you more than a month ago, and had already formulated response crafted to save the falsehood/false-note baggage thsat yourself and others (Keating, is it?) have been busy trying to strap onto the poor little donkey of Greek language terminology.

Gotta go. To the hospital. For real. Time is getting short.
