Not a dogma in Orthodox Christianity.

You don't seem to care to make distinctions between Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox, so maybe that's why it seems so to you.
>The Eastern Orthodox Churches, typically, will deny that they accept any such thing that comes from Rome (the Immaculate Conception is a novelty, they say) and they will deny that their doctrines agree with Catholic doctrines.
Correct, Eastern Orthodox dogma does not give Mary's birth special theological status. So if you want to refer to Eastern Catholics rather than Eastern Orthodox, you should do that rather than arbitrarily ascribing your beliefs to other denominations.
