Yeah, we weren't on the same page. I didnt mean earn in the sense that I owe them something, as if it's transactional. I just mean that they have to meet a minimum requirement on my end to even qualify for my consideration. So they earn an opportunity.

I'm actually not one to tell others they should forgive or extend grace. Personally, I tend to forgive people just so I can move on for my own sake, but I don't impose that onto others. Likewise, I don't impose my requirements for grace. People can give it while being punched in the face if they want.

My only point is that I think there are times when they are incompatible for me (OP). Like when the object of grace is preventing accountability and justice from occurring.
