Yes. Mary was speaking in the present perfect tense. She was not speaking in the future tense. Nice try.

To: WayneS; Missouri gal

Matthew 1:25

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. (KJV)

but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son;[a] and he named him Jesus. (NRSV)

Footnotes:

Matthew 1:25 Other ancient authorities read her firstborn son

I think the latter is a proper Catholic translation. The footnote applies to it.
