The virgin Mary, so she tells us herself in Luke 1:46,47, was a sinner who needed a Saviour, like everybody else. She tells us that her "soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour." This is her personal testimony; Mary is telling us about her spiritual pilgrimage. She came to see herself as a condemned and guilty sinner, lost and undone; then by the work of the Holy Spirit, she came to see that the Saviour she so urgently needed was the God about whom she had been taught as a child. God became her Saviour, therefore, she needed to be saved; and God saved her precious soul.
How facile and wrong it is for Romanism to claim that Mary was immaculately conceived, a doctrine that was only invented in 1854; Rome's theologians were, and are, slow learners, taking almost 1900 years to work out this erroneous doctrine or dogma of the immaculate conception of the virgin Mary. For a religion that accepts the Scriptures as a church authority, her denial of Luke 1:46,47 is culpable. That's why it is very wise to expose and oppose Rome's dogmas, and it is even more wise to have nothing to do with her false doctrines.
