Grace

Gracia is standard across all Spanish Bible traditions, but Catholic catechesis historically frames grace as infused and increased through sacramental cooperation and merit, while Reina-Valera (Reformation-descended) usage stresses unmerited favor received by faith alone. Romans’ argument (esp. 4:4-5, 11:5-6) requires the unmerited sense; do not let ‘gracia’ drift toward a merit-cooperation reading.
