I agree the definition of grace is unmerited favor. I don't necessarily disagree with your definition, however I do disagree with free grace's definition of faith which only goes as far as mere credence that Jesus is who he says he is. This is important because we are saved by *faith* alone in Christ Jesus.
I adhere to the biblical definition of saving faith in Hebrews 11:1 which I have written more about here:
