This is no different than what I and others have said with regard to Christ's peccability, and yet we are accused of Nestorianism. "Human peccability never becomes a divine property ('God as such cannot sin')"!
I actually agree with your statement in the abstract, "Human peccability never becomes a divine property." And it is equally true that "Human impeccability never becomes a divine property."

And this is precisely the problem with your Christology; it is exactly what horrifies you about the position that Christ was peccable, for you confuse the natures of Christ by attributing mortality to His divinity.
Mutatable human properties of mortality/immortality and human peccability/impeccability never become divine properties. In the hypostatic union, the divine nature appropriates to itself human mortality not human immortality, peccability, or impeccability.

No, I don't think you mean to do that. You have an inconsistant Christology, a Christ with a dual personality. The human nature and the divine nature of Christ have one personality, Impeccability, or else there would be two persons. The divine nature appropriating to itself human mortality does not split the personality of the person.
