The words of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary:

Hail Mary, full of grace
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus

The word, Jesus, is added when Catholics pray the Hail Mary. The angel Gabriel stopped with the word, "womb."

Now, why would the angel Gabriel use the words, "full of grace" -- doesn't that mean with no sin on one's soul? In other words, being full of grace allows no room for sin.

All of mankind needed saving after sin was found in Adam.
In Luke 2:47 Mary says “And my Spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.”

This announcement says nothing about Mary being sinless,Sal

It says she was blessed and honored by God when He chose her to be the mother of Christ.. later Christ said this

Luk 11:27 ¶ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

What unmitigated balderdash.

Ever read Hebrews?

Paul outlines how throughout Scripture, RIGHTEOUSNESS was IMPUTED BASED ON FAITH.

-->ONLY<--

The individual was not perfect--GOD'S GRACE DECLARED THEM RIGHTEOUS IN HIS EYES based on their faith AND ON HIS GRACE.

GOD'S GRACE TO OVERLOOK THEIR SINS AND FLAWS.

That's pretty basic Bible; very basic theology; very basic Christianity.

The unwarranted, UNBIBLICAL insulting to her Mary worshipping claptrap is from the pit of hell.

Actually, only sinners (i.e., all mortals) have any need of grace.  Someone without sin would have no need of grace.
