Though the Fifth Marian Dogma has not been proclaimed, I pray for it's acceptance. Although the titles of Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix (of All Graces) and Advocate are common in Catholic Mariology, it is still permissible to dispute them until they are proclaimed as dogma. If they are proclaimed as "de fide" ("of the faith"), then if you deny them, you aren't Catholic. It would be like saying "I'm Catholic but I don't believe Jesus is God." -- it would be a contradiction because Catholics believe Jesus is God. But for now, and perhaps forever, this topic is subject to debate within the Catholic Church.
Co-Redemptrix would be way to far. The second Vatican Council declined to give such a title to Mary.
From the Oxford English Dictionary
co-
prefix
1 (forming nouns) joint; mutual; common: co-author.
2 (forming adjectives) jointly; mutually: coequal.
3 (forming verbs) together with another or others: co-produce.
There is no way that you can say that Mary jointly redeemed us. It was Christ alone. To say that she co-operated is true but is not the meaning of "co-".
