Meaning of grace
This will lead us to death without grace.
I am wondering if grace here can only mean "clemency". I was wondering if this sentence was general enough to mean "elegance and beauty of movement, form, expression, or proportion". I think it can also mean that and mean "die without elegance", but it sounded a bit off for some reason. Is it still ok though?

My guess is that 'grace' is used here as a term of religion, but there is not enough context to be certain. If I am right on this, the sentence means that something ("this") will lead them to death without any opportunity to admit and to be forgiven for their sins. That is, they will not have this kind of blessing from any church, which is regarded by some Christians as a minimum necessity for entry into heaven.
