Where does the Bible say that the Spirit PERMANENTLY INDWELLS in someone from the very beginning of their acceptance of the Lord to their death on this earth and that He will NOT EVER leave? Paul writes to those who "have the Spirit permanently indwelling" to be careful with their dissensions, because THEY are destroying the Temple...
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy that one; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. 1 Cor 3:16-17
Is God the Father going to destroy someone with the Spirit abiding in them?
It seems that the Spirit's indwelling is partly conditional. It appears that GOD has the perogative to destroy those who defile the Temple (the Church, in this context, those who break it apart).
It would be the RCC view of Righteousness that would have the individual's righteousness 'fading' if he did not partake of the Sacraments.
And the Scriptures, as well. We first receive our righteousness at Baptism, as Paul writes in Romans 6. The Eucharist is "our daily bread", necessary for eternal life, according to Jesus Himself. The sacraments are visible instruments that manifest our relationship with Christ.

What is destroyed is the body.
The body is the Temple, which the Holy Spirit indwells.
The Holy Spirit seals the believer until the day of redemption (Eph.4:30).
The believer can 'grieve' or 'quench' the Holy Spirit,(relationship issues) but never lose the Holy Spirit, since the Holy Spirit Himself has placed His own seal upon the believer until that individual is redeemed.
See also Rom.8:38-39 and Jude 24-25 for the role of the Father and Son in eternal security of the believer as well.

No, there is nothing in any 'sacrament' that adds grace to the believer.
The Lord's supper is a remembrance of what the Lord did on the Cross, until He returns (1Cor.11)
