Baptismal Innocence is the time after Baptism when a person's soul is spotless. For babies who are Baptized this is from their Baptism until around the age of 7 when they are considered able to reason the difference between Good and Evil. For adults (those over the age of 7) who are Baptized it lasts until their next sin (probably a few minutes later).
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
By Baptism all sins are forgiven, original sin and all personal sins, as well as all punishment for sin. In those who have been reborn nothing remains that would impede their entry into the Kingdom of God, neither Adam's sin, nor personal sin, nor the consequences of sin, the gravest of which is separation from God. (CCC 1263)

There were some Roman Catholic reports that the Virgin Mary appeared to a nun in the 1950's, but these reports have not been independently verified. It is not impossible for the Virgin Mary to appear to someone who is very pious and leads a very spiritual life. For example, some monks on the holy mountain, Mt Athos, have apparently also witnessed visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout the centuries.

What must you learn and do to get baptized in the the Greek Orthodox church?
You need to learn the dogmas of the Orthodox Christian Faith. Dogmas are beliefs that are required for salvation, for example, believing that Jesus is God and Saviour, and that He rose from the dead.
The main summary of beliefs are contained in the Nicene Creed (or Symbol of faith).
Additionally it is important to receive Holy Communion on a regular basis, after baptism, and to attend church on a regular basis.
A priest will usually guide a person wishing to be baptized and will usually provide some reading material or resources to find out more about the Faith.
Who is allowed to interpret the Bible in The Orthodox Church?
The Bible has been interpreted by the holy Fathers of the church. These are saints who have given their inspired interpretation, such as St Athanasius the Great, St John Chrysostom, St Basil the Great, St Gregory the Theologian, and other similar saints of the church. There is no need for any further interpretation, as this could lead to personal opinions and errors. Everything we need for our salvation has already been given to us. Therefore, modern day interpretations are regarded as being irrelevant and do not provide anything needful.

Difference between greek orthodox and Lutheran theology?
Nearly every doctrinal difference between the Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox Churches stem from two factors. 1. The Lutheran Church is a catholic, or western Church which shares its roots with the Roman Catholic Church. The forefathers of the modern Orthodox and the forefathers of the modern Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches underwent the "Great Schism" in the first millennium over Trinitarian doctrine and 2. The Orthodox uphold Apostolic Tradition as a separate means of Church authority, while the Lutheran Church only accepts those tenets of Church Tradition which are upheld by the authority of the Canonical Scriptures. Both are liturgical, historic, sacramentarian Churches. During the Lutheran Reformation, there was much dialogue between the Greek Orthodox and Lutheran theologians as many of their grievances with Roman Catholicism are the same. There were some small, political and doctrinal issues which prevented any formal declaration of union or fellowship. Dialogue continues, and many of the differences between these two historic Churches are simply cultural.
