Sounds like ‘get institutionalized’ doesn’t it? There is a common error of conflation of the institutional church, and the Ekklesia, the CHURCH, the body of all believers in Him as their Savior, across time and in and out of denominations.

That's exactly what it sounds like. If there is so much emphasis on the sacraments for eternal salvation, then it is extremely important WHO administers them and the very precise nature in which it is done. After all, you can't have just anyone passing around the "bodily presence" of the Lord Jesus Christ -- it requires a priest or bishop.
