I know in Roman Catholic thought it is said that the sacraments give sanctifying grace, but what about prayer? Like the Rosary. Do prayer and other actions that aren't the seven sacraments  (like doing charitable deeds) give sanctifying grace or another 'type' of grace?

Catholic Dictionary

Term
SANCTIFYING GRACE
Definition
The supernatural state of being infused by God, which permanently inheres in the soul. It is a vital principle of the supernatural life, as the rational soul is the vital principle of a human being's natural life. It is not a substance but a real quality that becomes part of the soul substance. Although commonly associated with the possession of the virtue of charity, sanctifying grace is yet distinct from this virtue. Charity, rather, belongs to the will, whereas sanctifying grace belongs to the whole soul, mind, will, and affections. It is called sanctifying grace because it makes holy those who possess the gift by giving them a participation in the divine life. It is zo_ (life), which Christ taught that he has in common with the Father and which those who are in the state of grace share.

The more I increase sanctifying grace, the higher degree of it I have; and the higher my degree, the greater my reward in Heaven.

But how can I increase sanctifying grace? Once in a state of sanctifying grace, everything good that I do increases it—every prayer I say, every loving thought I have of God, every kind word I speak, every temptation I overcome. And venial sins, though they disfigure my soul, cannot lessen sanctifying grace, but one mortal sin utterly destroys it. Unless I am in sanctifying grace I cannot win or merit a reward in Heaven for a single thing I do.

What an awful thing it is to live in mortal sin, for not only am I then in constant danger of losing my soul but everything I do is worthless for Heaven.
