Catholics are often accused of making Mary equal with God by calling her "co-redeemer and co-mediatrix. Is such the case? Does the prefix "co" mean "equal"?
Because if it does than we have a problem. Paul calls all Christians "coworkers" with God.
"For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building." 1 Cor 3:9
Rather, Catholics should be taken at our word, that "Co-Redeemer means that Mary "co-operates" with Christ in his redemption by saying "Yes" to God, and that she "co-operates" with intercession by praying for us. We too cooperate with redemption when we i.e. evangelize, and we are also little co-mediatrixes when we intercede for one another in prayer.
