"Catholics think of grace as a supernatural power which God dispenses, primarily through the Church and its sacraments, to purify the souls of naturally sinful human beings, and render them capable of holiness."

"Protestants think of grace as an attribute of God rather than a gift from God."

As a Protestant, I always thought of grace as undeserved favor from God.

Not THIS Protestant!
NIV Ephesians 2:8-9
8. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
9. not by works, so that no one can boast.
