But I previously had not thought that cooperating with the grace of God so that the reception of His grace would not be in vain was heretical. Do you guys think I was wrong?

Could you be more specific? What is it to cooperate with God's grace? so that this reception would not be in vain?
Well, I think Pilgrim stated it pretty well. I agree with what he said about cooperation.

But what you cut and pasted seemed to imply otherwise so I'm a bit confused by that as well, I guess. The monergism website said "The modern Roman Catholic church clearly embraces a form of Semi-Pelagianism." Now I understand those aren't your words, but you offered them up as an explanation for your beliefs (I'm assuming.) So is there a difference between their vague concept of grace (as you interpret it) and their clear teaching of Semi-Pelagianism (as you put forth by way of the website?)
