The Gnostic Christians believe Judas and Mary M were actually Jesus' truest disciples, with Judas making the necessary sacrifice to help Christ shed his corrupt physical form and release his divine spark, and Mary M being the only follower that Christ told the "secret truth" of Gnosis to.

Its also claimed that Christ "kissed her on the mouth" which is said to be a phrase used to describe telling her these secret truths. However, she is also sometimes referred to in Gnostic texts as his consort (may be a translation thing).

Personally, this all sounds like a likely story for a betrayer and a whore to come up with in the wake of the crucifixion, but who really knows?

I hear it’s the whores who always achieve gnosis- sounds like a fair bargain to me

Are whores the ones who achieve gnosis? Or are any women who do so, retroactively mischaracterized as whores 🤔

That's a very interesting thought. I would say yes to the second.

It wouldn't be surprising at all. But it would be a shame if there really was some sort of "divine couple" in the Christian story and its been suppressed because we cant have a women being in such a position at such a time. Then again im just a romantic like that, so I like the concept.
