I base my argument on St. Paul's description of the glorified bodies of the saints and on Luke's designation of Mary as filled with grace.

Since Mary was filled with grace, she was free of the stain of sin and her soul did not have to be separated from her body. Elijah is an example of such a person.

But are not the glorified bodies Paul refers to those of the saints after the Resurection? Which would seem to imply that the saints are not in possession of them at the moment. Thus, even if one might argue that we could "reach" the saints in their glorification, they aren't available at the present time.

The Holy Spirit told us of Elijah that is how we know, did he also leave a scripitual record of Mary like that ?
