Protestants think of grace as an attribute of God rather than a gift from God. It is a shorthand term signifying God’s determination to love, forgive, and save His human children, however little they deserve it.

Protestants consider grace both an attribute and a gift of God.

Would not it better described as the working of the attribute of Love?

I do not see it linked to God's Omnipotence!

God's attributes are interrelated. Certainly grace is related to love, but it is not unrelated to omnipotence or ommniscience or omnipresence, etc.

I do. God is strong enough to save. And when He saves someone, He saves them with nothing to stand in His way.
