Consider “This water is cold.”
Subject: this particular water.
Predicate: coldness.
Link: the attribution of coldness to the water.
Judgment: affirming coldness of this water.
If the water is indeed cold and the attribution is accepted on appropriate grounds, this is correct assent. If the water's condition is unknown, understanding the wording does not amount to accepting the judgment.
The distinction matters whenever we comprehend a claim but still need evidence for it.
