All Holy Orders are sacraments of God indeed.

No such thing as Sacrament. It's never mentioned anywhere in Scripture nor is there any prescribed method for attaining God's grace.

God's grace is poured out in our lives by virtue of the fact that that's what God does and who He is.

The very fact that we aren't in hell at this moment is by the grace of God. Even unbelievers are living in His grace.

If we have to do something to get it, it's no longer grace.

*Grace* in Catholicism is actually wages due for deeds performed.

It's not what Scripture reveals grace to be. Catholic grace is its own creation.

Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood (1 Timothy 4:14, similar 2 Timothy 1:6)

Read the Holy Bible every once in a while.
