>so someone like Mary needed to exist
Do catholics and reformists really believe in same God? They don't teach importance of Mary in lutherans christianity, it's all about Jesus and his 'godmanhood'.

Im ortho but the short answer is no they don't. How do the prots even think Christ would have godmanhood without being born, and do they think ANY sort of human vessel could possibly contain Christ without destruction unless they had a will perfectly aligned to his? Mary was born to two saints and brought into the temple at age 3, and a very short time after her leaving the Spirit descended upon her. The prot take of 'well it could just be anyone' is so silly and exactly why theyre open to being asked stuff like 'why didn't He come earlier then?' and they have no real good answer

You can equally ask 'why didn't he come earlier then' of Mary, why couldn't she have come earlier and allowed Jesus to come earlier too?

Human free will, we can all make the choices we want to make. She was the first woman to perfectly align her will to God's since Eve, the first to be as pure as is possible for a human being. Mary is a person who had to be born herself and then make all the right choices (of course the circumstances mattered too, and those also had to be the result of human choices by her parents and so forth). 

How come someone exactly like you hasn't happened till now huh?

eh? Eve was literally who started all this by defying God/the Demiurge

Could Sophia have instructed Eve to eat the apple?
