Yes, Mary never sinned. She was born free of the consequences of Original Sin and she also avoided any personal sin during her life.
Romans 3:
[23] since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
One more reason Scripture is shunted behind "Tradition".

What are the chances that the "all" here is used in the collective sense? The distributive sense?
It would only take one exception to the rule to make "all" mean something other than what you take it to mean...
Let's see... can we think of anybody who lived prior to Paul writting that down who might fit? Anybody at all?
