There are two types of prostitutes. The physical ones who sell their bodies to men. And the spiritual ones who cavort with the devil and sell their souls to him.
The Great Whore of Babylon is of the second variety.

She was a Canaanite (Gentile). Even more important She was in genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, Matthew 1. Ruth, a Gentile was, also in genealogy of Jesus.
Gentiles were put in the genealogy of the Messiah for a reason.

I have come to believe that there are several reasons.
1. Prostitution is hard to stay out of once its established from someone’s life - absent a miraculous healing from God. Unlike the sins of many in scripture it might have taken her a while to leave it completely. She must have persevered and left it for she married Salmon and was the mother of Boaz.
2. The name stuck because she lived in that sin for so long. God still chose her for the lineage of Christ, and that selection was a message to his creation about whom God desires to come to him and the completeness of the forgiveness of sin.

Some translations interpret her occupation as “innkeeper” albeit the vast majority “prostitute”

Gosh - maybe they ought to redact the Bible so her reputation doesn’t stay on the low side.....3,500 years is long enough....
