Why did you end the citation of the Baptism where you did? Section 1257 goes on to say that God is not bound by the sacraments, so salvation could be possible without them, but that the church is bound by them. That completely changes the meaning.So they are NECESSARY but they are not? I thought you were in law school ? Are they NECESSARY as they say or are they not?

God can save apart from the sacraments, but the sacraments are the normative instrument of salvation he's given to his church. We are bound by his laws, but he is not bound by any law except when he binds himself.
