Created Grace makes no sense

What minutes of the council are you reading? Because these show the fathers, including the Patriarch of Antioch, saying, "from the reading of his letter we have found him to be orthodox."

the ones cross referenced in the PG (which has everything) by St Justinian (in his defense of the Three Chapters' condemnation) which says they read the letter, and Ibas rejected its theology. which is why in the letter's anathema in the 5th Council, it says the letter attributed to Ibas, unlike what it says about Theodoret.

Justinian's council asserted, without any proof, that the minutes of Chalcedon had been interpolated. Obviously this was to counter claims that they were contradicting Chalcedon by condemning the Three Chapters.

that's why I didn't only reference the Council

It is hardly surprising that Justinian's own writing would accord with the council he orchestrated. The 2nd Council of Constantinople was a little bit like the 2016 Cretan council- everything was pre-arranged.

well yeah, that's also why I said in the translation of his writings, the PG was used as a cross reference to show St Justinian wasn't just making stuff up.
