This places her with the rest of humanity, as a sinner needing a Savior, but the Catholic Church holds that Mary was saved from sin through the merits of Christ by being conceived without sin and then living a sinless life. Again, never is this taught in Scripture. Rather, what Scripture teaches is that there is only one exception to the truth that we are all sinners (Romans 3:10, 3:23, etc.).
Ngunit pinaniniwalaan ng mga Romano Katoliko na naligtas si Maria mula sa kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng merito ni Kristo bilang isang tao na ipinaglihi na walang kasalanan at pagkatapos ay namuhay ng hindi nagkasala ni minsan. Muli, hindi ito kailanman itinuturo sa Bibliya. Sa halip, itinuturo ng Kasulatan na may iisa lamang tao na hindi nagkasala (Roma 3:10, 3:23, atbp.)
