St. Augustine: “It is not the merits of the consecrator that the sacrament is wrought, but by the Creator’s word and power of the Holy Spirit.” I would judge that the most important thing in Catholicism is the receiving of the Communion - while in a state of grace, of course.

The most important thing is asking forgiveness of sins and being born again. If people do not do that, then nothing else matters.
