The term "saving grace" is generally used in secular literature and in speech to mean some fact or quality in a thing or a person or an idea that enables us to take a positive view of it, despite plenty of negative evidence; or at least keeps us from taking an entirely negative view. For example we might say "I suppose old Joe should have been laid off years ago. He can't always keep up and he gets some things wrong. But his saving grace is (that) everyone likes him and likes having him around."
