“Some people don’t understand the definition of “grace”.”

They don’t. You’re right.

“grace, in Christian theology, the spontaneous, unmerited gift of the divine favour in the salvation of sinners, and the divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration and sanctification.”

I think of it as favor, protection and power. Holiness too.

“One of the 15 promises IS getting Grace for spreading the rosary devotion”

Right. The statement is an oxymoron. You don’t “get” Grace by spreading. You don’t get Grace by doing anything. Everything already has been done.

This is Monsignor Popes response to the article in the Atlantic. This thread is a good place to read his comments about the article. I didn’t go looking for this, we just read his blog. https://blog.adw.org/author/cpope/
