It seems you are trying to divide Christians from Christians, perhaps in the assumption that they are basically Catholic.
At Lourdes in France, an hours drive away from where I live, then lots would perhaps react like an American friend of mine, who visited it with me. Her best description of it, which she offered to her relatives back home, was that it was a Catholic Theme park.
Near the main driveway of the entrance, is a large statue of Mary, with the title the "Queen of Heaven". Now since when was Mary the Queen of Heaven, or even, the mother of God? God does not have a mother, even if she gave birth to a third of it down here, ie Jesus. Ask yourself why John Paul II was pushing hard to get a an acceptation of a Qaudrature that included Mary, instead of a Trinity? That process is still under consideration by the relevant authorities in the Catholic Church.
In Lourdes there is a plaque, dated 1547 that says that the Pope is above the 'bible'. Ie, he is assumed to have transcended the very word which gave him the right to even exist.
The only other thing I have against Catholics is their insistence on worshipping Mary, instead of Jesus or God. As Christians you are supposed to be worhipping the same God! Mary is not a God/Godess! I do believe she is Heaven. However I would strongly suggest that you do not try to make an issue out of Mary. I know why the Catholic Church is trying to 'promote' her and I have accepted historical facts to back it up. I will not hesitate to use them if you push the issue and I don't think you would be happy with the result. Just let it lie and dont cause dissension amongst Christians, because if you do that, then you are just serving the other side!

Mary is a sinner. She had to get to heaven the same as you or Hitler did. Thru Jesus.
If she rejected like Hitler she went to hell.
She id not God mother my God is eternal no birthdate.
Jesus enter a "thing" in Mary and lived in a body of flesh.
Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Mary is not special. Praying to her is sin.
Standing for Jesus getting thumbs down for his sake and for the truth.

I haven't found anyone saying she went to hell, just saying that she couldn't answer prayer and that she is dead.

I think they only said that she can't hear people "praying" to her. Nobody doubts she's in heaven. She's just not a mediator.
