That's simply unnecessary papal propaganda which detracts from the central truth proclaimed by the Council which all Protestants need to understand and embrace, namely that Mary is the Most Holy Theotokos.

We do not need to understand nor do we or you have to embrace any such notion...

Whether I believe your theory or not in no way diminishes my standing with God...

God was here before Mary...She could not under any circumstances be the Mother of God...Jesus (God) was not created in Mary's womb...

Did the only begotten Son enter into Mary's womb as a little baby??? As a Godly sperm???

When you guys baptize a baby and the baby is filled with the Holy Spirit, does the Holy Spirit become a little baby, or is the Spirit fully grown as we might perceive Him to be...

The fact is, it doesn't matter...It's a mystery God didn't reveal to you, me, or anyone else...

I didn't say that it did. I have no idea what your "standing with God is". If, however, you want to be within The Church, you should accept the dogmatic declarations of the Ecumenical Councils. It is 100% your choice.

"God was here before Mary...She could not under any circumstances be the Mother of God...Jesus (God) was not created in Mary's womb..."

God was indeed here "before" Mary. Tell me, I, was there a time when God was "not"? As for what happened in Mary's womb, the Creed says that the Logos, born of the Father before all ages, the Son of God, was "Enfleshed" (or Incarnated) by the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary and "became Man". So you are right, the Son of God, the Logos, was not "created in Mary's womb", but He was "enfleshed" there and was born True Man from there. This is the theology of a mystery, I.

"Did the only begotten Son enter into Mary's womb as a little baby??? As a Godly sperm???"

We only know and proclaim what the Gospel says in that regard, I. The Holy Spirit came over her.
