14 Yrs ago I played guitar and screamed for a Heavy Metal band. We were really just local heroes, but we sold some cds and sold out night clubs. During this period, I put God on the back burner and began glorifying myself! God dealt with me harshly during this time, but He gave me an out and a way to continue music to Glorify Him. God, through the Church pulled me kicking and screaming out of that mess and I will never go back. The path I have been on has been easy, then not so easy, then easy, kind of like riding up and down hills. This is another part of my story. Now maybe you can see why I am offended at being called a heretic, a pagan, devil worshipper, etc. Back then, these terms might have applied to me, but no longer!
Catholic Heresy (for the record)

Amplified Bible( luv my amplifiers! Lol) Luke 1:28 and he came to her and said Hail o favored one[endued with grace]! The Lord is with you! Blessed(favored of God) are you before all other women!
Verse 30 and the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace(free, spontaneous, absolute favor and loving-kindness) with God!

Mary was NOT sinless. She WAS higly favored by God, however. God can indeed use a sinner to produce something awesome. 
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
This includes Mary as well in this scripture by the Apostle Paul.............
You left out four little words from that verse deliberately misleading. "As it is written " referring to the OT, because obviously the NT hadn't been written yet. The verse refers to the OT where of course, all had sinnned and fallen short. Verse 10 is where we find the context and the four words you left out

Wrong as notice the context of verse 9 and verse 22 as they show this standard applies to all believers, for we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and this includes Mary. Which is why we all need the Savior Jesus Christ to receive that grace by our faith in Him.
For without receiving remission of sins through the Lord nobody would go to heaven..........Mary was not sinless
Even if you try to make this about the OT your debate is still flawed because Mary lived under the OT laws until Jesus was crucified. Because the new covenant did not go into affect tell His death (Hebrews 9:16).

She was given remission of sins by the Lord Jesus Christ just like every single other one of us is that are in the faith of Jesus Christ.
His blood cleansed her the same way it cleanses all of us when we believed in Him and repented of our sins.
There is absolutely no biblical support to says she was cleansed or had no sin to begin with, as that is one of many of the false teachings started by a pope that is not biblically supported...
