What is our position on mary being full of grace

[u/AceThaGreat123]

When the angel Gabriel came to Mary and said she is full of grace does it mean that exact moment she was full of grace ? I know Catholics say the full of grace from Stephen was different from her even in the Greek

Q: What’s a saint?

A: Saint: Greek hagios, set apart by (or for) God, holy, sacred; implies something “set apart” and therefore “different (distinguished/distinct)” – i.e. “other,” because special to the Lord.]

Anyone who confesses faith and gets a trinitarian baptism is a saint and full of grace aka pleres charitos.

“Full of grace” is literally “pleres charitos,” and that wording is used in reference to Jesus (John 1:14) and to St. Stephen (Acts 6:8). Obviously, it’s used with two different meanings in those two passages, but its meaning is clearly gleamed by its context. Technically, anyone who was recently baptized or received the sacrament of confession is pleres charitos. In Luke 1:28, the word that the angel uses is kecharitomene. So it’s not literally “full of grace,” but its root word is the Greek verb “to give grace” (charitoo). Catholic Answers

Luke 1:28: angel uses the world is kecharitomene — not “full of grace,”. Luke 1:28. The root word is the Greek verb “to give grace” (charitoo). The word is the past perfect tense, meaning that the action of giving grace has already occurred.

Lutherans believe and confess that Mary is blessed and worthy of highest honor.

Lutherans believe and confess that Jesus is God manifest and as such Mary is the mother of God.

We do not go beyond scripture to make that say too much.

I believe it as an Anglican.

I believe she was filled with God's grace as a form of sanctification, or what Wesley calls Christian perfection.
