Mary was born with a sinful nature.

Some people these days are claiming that Mary was sinless. Just to set the record straight, and setting aside all the scripture that states all have sinned and fallen short of Gods glory. That would include Mary.

The sinful nature of man is passed down through the man. Eve sinned first. but through Adams sin we inherit this sinful nature.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--

Mary was born of a father. "Heli" Luke 3:23 (Mary's genealogy) Thus she was born with a sinful nature.

Jesus, being born of a virgin, even though His biological mother Mary had a sinful nature, this sinful nature did not pass down to Him since there was no biological father. He received inheritance rights through Joseph. The position, not the blood.
 
" Mary , full of grace "
Means what to you ?
Luke 1:28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”

Means favored one. All Christians are favroed.

highly favored. Lit. "full of grace"—a term used of all believers in Eph_1:6, where it is translated "accepted." This portrays Mary as a recipient, not a dispenser, of divine grace.

Mary needed a Savior, she was born in sin like all humans.

Luke 1:46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Luke 1:47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.


One time when Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd proclaimed, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed” (Luke 11:27). There was never a better opportunity for Jesus to declare that Mary was indeed worthy of praise and adoration. What was Jesus’ response? “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it” (Luke 11:28). According to Jesus, obedience to God’s Word was more important than being the woman who gave birth to the Savior.

Luke 11:27 Now it happened that while Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.”
Luke 11:28 But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”
