“Well of course the Grace comes from God....sheesh...but He sends it through the Sacraments which He Himself ordained”
No, he doesn’t send them through the sacraments he sends them through Christ Jesus straight to the believer at the foot of the cross. Stick with your original answer of outward expressions or did they threaten to cast you out of the rcc . Contary to the rcc the thief on the cross didn’t recieve any sacraments just pure Grace and we know for a fact he went to Heaven! Now that’s finished answer the question that I have asked you twice.

If I knew how to do such things on FR, I’d insert that picture of the girl in the taco commercial saying “why not both?”
God uses both Word and Sacrament to create and strengthen faith and forgive sin. You’re both right!
Most of us aren't at the foot of the cross....think of how much more convenient it is for Him to have the seven Sacraments administered in hundreds of thousands of Catholic churches around the world on a daily basis.
