Why would that make Lazarus' sister, Mary, a hooker?

Because while in St. John's Gospel, it was Lazarus' sister who poured ointment of Our Lord's Feet, in the Synoptic Gospels, it was a sinful woman (or prostitute) that did poured the ointment on Our Lord's Feet.

That was two separate events. The sinful woman anointing Jesus was near the beginning of his ministry, and Mary anointing Jesus was near the end. Luke is the only gospel to include the account of the sinful woman. Matthew and Mark, despite not naming the woman, record the same account as John.
