"It Was To Her Credit" And "It Was A Credit To Her"
- It was to her credit that she never gave up.
- It was a credit to her that she never gave up.
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether there's a difference in meaning between 1 and 2?
(It seems to me that credit in 1 is used as uncountable and one in 2 as countable, but both of them look to mean "praise". So I think there's no difference in meaning.)

There is hardly any difference in meaning. There is a faint difference in emphasis, that's all.
