Mary called God her savior.

pOnly sinners need a savior and if she realized that she had one, then she knew she was a sinner.

Please show us the Scripture where it says, *For all have sinned, except Mary, and fall short of the glory of God.*

Besides, Scripture does record a place where she admits she sinned. Luke 2:48 says this....

When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

They were ANXIOUSLY searching for Him. Worry is a sin.

If Mary had kept the Law perfectly, which is what never sinning is, then she would have proved that it’s possible for a human to attain salvation through the Law. If that was the case, then Jesus died for nothing.

She would not have needed a savior as she was sinless. And being sinless, she was outside the grace and mercy of God.

Grace only kicks in where there is sin. Romans 5:20 “ Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,”

And just in case you are clueless about why she could not experience the grace of God, is because without sin, she was in unbroken fellowship with God and anything she got from Him is what she deserved, which is justice, not grace.

Your false comment: “Only sinners need a savior and if she realized that she had one, then she knew she was a sinner.”

That is not true. A savior saves from danger or destruction.
You might need to be saved from destruction.

The Blessed Mother was saved from sin with special graces as the Mother of God (before she committed any sin). As Jesus restored the harmony with God, it allows the sinless Mary to enter Heaven by Assumption into Heaven.

Jesus, the Son of God, was sent by the Father to restore the harmony between himself and humanity that had been disrupted by sin. He came to teach and show us love. We are here to know God, accept his Truth and love Him and our neighbor.

You should try to use reason and logic and not contradict God’s Truth with your personal opinion.

Since you don’t want to understand the Catholic faith, perhaps you should look up answers to your questions or comments before you make further false statements about the Catholic faith.
