I have heard of Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox people speaking of “grace” as it is a “thing” or some kind of ”stuff” or ”substance.” They argue about “created grace” vs “uncreated grace” and the like.
I always understood “grace” to be a quality, as in the “unmerited favor of God” or secondarily “being nice to someone that doesn’t deserve it.” Am I missing something? Do the Reformed fathers speak of grace as if it is some kind of stuff? The latter view makes me scratch my head.
