If someone is in a state of grace and devoutly receives daily mass–how much difference could that possibly make on the possibility of becoming a saint or of avoiding purgatory altogether?

A state of grace such that you can receive Holy Communion is simply being free of mortal sin.
Sanctity and the avoidance of purgatory involves so much more - practice, as much as possible, of positive virtues, conformity to Christ and His will even in matters not concerning sin, and preferably freedom from even the least of venial sins and sinful inclinations (as opposed to actual sin).
Communion, devoutly and frequently received, helps with all the latter as well as, of course, avoidance of mortal sin as well :getholy:
