Luke 2:18-19 ESV
18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
There is a difference between being amazed at the hearing of something and taking it to heart. Mary embraced the unfolding events just as she had the Holy One of God. She too had been visited by an angel, but also touched by the Holy Spirit.
Responding with a life changed is the mark of a disciple of Christ. Just hearing and wondering about it does not make one a follower of Jesus.
