No Catholic will say that they "worship" Mary, even if they do ask for her prayers. It is only the Protestant, looking in, who interprets such acts as "worship." Because we differ on definitions.

Yes, many millions of "Catholics" will say they "worship" Mary but, according to your narrow definition of "Catholic", you dissmiss them.

Yet, when I question how the RCC can embrace pagans, believers in witchcraft, murderers of "witches", and Evangelical Protestants, your answer is; "Doctrine is pure and unadulterated. Discipline is lacking. Our Church is a Church for sinners, not perfect people."

It is clear, to me at least, that by "Our Church" you mean the Catholic Church. This "Our Church" is the one which also include millions of those who worship Mary.

Where is the consistency in your position?

Please provide one such testimony. Your argument rests on this proposition.
