Jesus is Ascended into Heaven with a ***"resurrected body".***
Mary was Assumed into Heaven with a ***"glorified body?***

>"Nothing defiled shall enter the Kingdom..."
I put a question mark on Mary's glorified body. Why? St.Pope Pius XII in the Assumption Dogma leave this part unsettled for all the faithful to ponder.
*Mary no doubt the Catholic Church Doctrine teaches was bestowed with a unique and singular gift of Immaculate Body but still not a "glorified or spiritual body". Immaculate body cannot enter Heaven only spiritual or glorified bodies in reference to CCC999 & CCC1000 plus St. Paul teaching on 1Corinthian50-51.*
Mary at the end of her earthly life either suffers "dormition" or experienced actual physical death prior to Assumption into Heaven.
But, the state of Mary's physical body is left unsettled by St.Pope Pius XII.Does Mary's "dormition" means She had already possessed a "glorified body" or after experiencing physical death Mary was given a "glorified body"?
Jesus clearly suffered physical death, the proof is when His side was pierced "Blood & Water" gushed forth signifying there's no more blood left.And after three days rose again with a "resurrected body".
My question is in reference to St.Paul teaching in **1Corinthian 15:50-51**
**Where O Death is Your Victory?**
>*"Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed." - [1 Corinthians 15:51](http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/15-51.htm)
If St.Paul teaches that flesh & blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, Mary's state of physical body although Immaculate is still a real "flesh & blood".How can She enter/assume into Heaven in that physical state?
In view of the above, my question is Jesus "resurrected body" differs from Mary's "glorified body"?
Also for clarity of the matter when was the "glorified body" of Mary given?, is it in Heaven or while here on earth.If we follow "dormition" teaching there's a possibility Mary already possessed a "glorified body" because death has no sting in Her Immaculate Body. But if we follow the teaching that Mary experienced physical death then a "glorified body" was given to Her after death, but also still on earth and not yet in Heaven by virtue of St.Paul teaching "on flesh & blood cannot inherit the Kingdom".
I'm looking only answers from Catholicism and Church Father and Saints reflections and commentaries.
