>>Christ, and Christ alone, is the only One ever referred to in Scripture as being “full of grace [and truth]” - John 1:14.<<

Not so. Acts 6:8 refers to Stephen as plErEs charitos, which literally means "full of grace" and just the same as the description used of Jesus in John 1:14.

No, he isn’t. He is described as pleres pistis - Full of faith:

“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.Full of faith, not of grace.
