Normal deflection from you and just words no proof. The CoT did indeed say that you must have the sacraments for Salvation and that Grace by itself wasn’t sufficient (official)or be anathema. Words like establish, present, enact, and new mean that it was NOT official in the past! Yes denied by the Prots, but that’s not the reason it was made official by the Catholics. Your Church made them official because it was hemorrhaging parishioners by the thousands. The brainstorming CoT came up with the idea of making people fear losing their Salvation by making all the sacraments and absolute and the Church the only way to do that or be anathema. I’m not a propagandist, but you are either willfully ignorant of your Church history or intentionally deceitful you pick.

See presiding, adhering to the teaching of the Holy Scriptures, to the Apostolic traditions, and to the unanimous teaching of other councils and of the Fathers, has thought it proper to establish and enact these present canons;

Canon 1. If anyone says that the sacraments of the New Law were not all instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, or that there are more or less than seven, namely, baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, extreme unction, order and matrimony,[1] or that any one of these seven is not truly and intrinsically a sacrament, let him be anathema.

The object of ESTABLISH and ENACT is the CANON, not the doctrine. You are making precisely the blunder I already described. You will find everything Trent taught in canons of previous councils and countless theological treatises.
