Yep.
It means Marys PURE BIRTH from the French "Du Sue Emecule Concepcion" as said by one of the dumb kids who believe the demon was really Marry - at Majagario.(However spelled)
"""Catholics believe that Mary was spared from original sin from the moment of her conception."""

Similar to J's answer, but with more detail:
In Catholism, it was decided that since Jesus was born of Mary, that she couldn't have been with any kind of sin at any point in her existence, so "Immaculate conception" is not Jesus's conception, rather, it is Mary's conception.. dogma that states Mary was without original sin from the time of her *conception* (before she was born).
Non-catholics, on the other hand, seem to believe that "Immaculate Conception" refers to the conception of Jesus in Mary's womb, as there was no human father, the conception was considered "immaculate."
I personally believe neither statement :>

The Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic doctrine that states Mary was conceived without original sin. The most common misconception is that it refers to the conception of Jesus.

Yes. It means the sinless conception of Mary, the mother of Jesus. God allowed her to avoid original sin, that is taught by the Catholic church to be passed along through the sex act leading to conception.

Yes, it means, Mary was born filled with God's grace and her soul cleansed from the original sin.

Yes, I understand what you mean. But in Mary's case this spotless and pure event was virginal.

Yes. It's also dogma, but not an article of faith. That's a good thing, as it's something I have a little trouble with.
