No sacraments are mentioned by God in regards to being justified by faith alone.

You misread the commentary. Sacraments are necessary in addition to faith. Baptism, Holy Communion, Confession are three sacraments that come to mind that are mentioned in the Bible. Why do you think Jesus Christ said his Blood would be shed for "many" and not for "all"?

I do not believe I misread the attempt to insert "sacramental requirements" as an addition to what God declared.

Sacraments are unnecessary to salvation. They follow. Baptism is a public declaration of faith and the desire to follow Christ. The Lord's Supper is a sharing to be done in memory of Him until He comes. Confession to HIM of our sins keeps us in fellowship. None saves.

Why do you think Jesus Christ said his Blood would be shed for "many" and not for "all"?

For the exact same reason he said "many" and not "all" in Matthew 20:28

Faith is required for salvation. We follow up in baptism and "do this in remembrance" of Him per His instructions.

Can you show us where the word *sacraments* is found in the Bible or where Jesus commanded *sacraments to be performed by priests?

Yeah; that's what Rome claims all right.

Too bad it ain't in the Book!
