Luke 1:46-48
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
If she says "God my saviour", why would anyone include her in the trinity?

You won't get much support among Catholics for adding Mary to the Trinity. Even non-Catholics regard her as an important part of the story and she has a starring role in every Nativity play.
We do pray to her, and other saints, to pray for us. A lot of people don't believe this is effective, but it works for us.
We don't regard her as God though.
Basically, she's just another member of the flock An important member though

I heard Jesus He drank wine and I bet we'd get along just fine.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; One not many but one.
Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Why go through lesser channels when we can go straight to the throne.
Luk 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
She was blessed among not above. She was used as a tool just as any of us can be used of God.
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Mary and the saints who have gone before were the same, fellowservants. Nothing more.
I feel Mary would be grieved knowing that she is prayed to. If Mary and the saints are prayed to, would that not mean that you would have to believe that they are omniscent (having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things)?
God is the only omniscent one.
It would be the same as if my son would keep going to his brother and making requests to him so he would ask me instead of coming directly to me.
Oh, let us come boldly to the throne! Not because of who we are but because of whose we are!
How many believe in the Quadrinity
