I too believe it is "God's unmerited favor" . I do not know where the author got this .Perhaps Dr.Steve has an explaination.

I do think we see grace through different eyes than Catholics. We truely see it as unmerited..that grace is given by God and never in response to a work..

ditto I agree there are two types of Grace . salvific grace and general grace The atonment has offered a grace benefit to all mankind the saved and the unsaved..

"Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help
that God gives us to respond to His call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.(Catechism of the Catholic Church #1996.)

Maybe I misunderstand the word attribute. I too think of Grace as unmeirted favor from God. But I think of God giving us unmerited favor as an attribute of God. Am I making sense:)
