I agree with you there. I find it interesting that we were told the Greek meaning for "sacrament" yet nowhere in Scripture is that word ever even used. I looked at the Douay-Rheims as well, in case anyone wonders.
And yet they reject the concept of sola scriptura on that basis.
I wonder if they know what h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e spells.
Last time I checked the mysteries were revealed only to the disciples. But, wait, that's what Jesus is quoted as saying. Of course, Paul overrules him. :)

So, what are you saying? That the Greeks don't call sacraments mysteries (or secrets)? Are you going to tell them that calling sin missing the mark (hamartia) is also "wrong?"
Laying on of the hands, for example is considered a mysterion, a secret, a sacrament, which is mentioned in the Bible without explicitly calling it a mysterion.
But if you share mm's opinion on this, then you too must believe you know everything there is to know.
Sure it is, in a number of places. For example, your buddy +Paul uses it in Ephesians referring to the Mysterion of Marriage. You'll find several in Corinthians. One of the best descriptions of Apostles/bishops/priests is at 1 Cor. 4:1 "...οἰκονόμους μυστηρίων θεοῦ", "stewards of the mysteries of God". The Greek is beautiful, bb! And there are more examples. You may want to learn Greek for your bible studying. English will lead you wrong as often as not.
