Why is the idea of Mary as a co-mediator rejected in Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

Reformed theology rejects Mary as a co-mediator because it upholds Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity.

In Reformed theology, the belief that Mary serves as a co-mediator is contrary to Scripture's teaching on the singular mediatorship of Christ. 1 Timothy 2:5 asserts that 'there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' Elevating Mary to a co-mediator undermines the sufficiency of Christ's atonement and grace. Reformed understanding emphasizes that salvation is entirely based on God's grace through Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9), and any deviation from this undermines the core tenets of the gospel.
