Type S mortar
If it is Type S Mortar Cement, you should add sand equal to 2 1/4 to 3 1/2 times the volume of cement by volume. - According to ASTM C270 standards for Type S mortar.
There is a good chance that it does not contain lime, but a combination of other materials to make it act like Portland and Hydrated lime. Still within the ASTM specifcations.
