If we can lose sanctifying grace by mortal sin, it can’t be “permanently” added to our nature, can it? Perhaps it’s referring to Christ’s human nature.

Good point - maybe from Baptism until our first actual sin at the age of reason.

Nice! I have a hard time remembering what “entitative” means. “Relating to entity/being” will help.
