Basic rules for Class C is paragraph 3-2-4 of the AIM:
1. When controller responds WITH your tail number that
is clearance to enter the class C airspace..

Dennis, the word "clearance" has specific meaning in aviation and
NO clearance is required, nor given, for VFR a/c to enter Class C
airspace.

Quoting from the AIM:

"1. If the controller responds to a radio call with,
"(aircraft callsign) standby," radio communications
have been established and the pilot can enter the
Class C airspace."
