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"?

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

We follow up in baptism and "do this in remembrance" of Him per His instructions.

What about this instruction: Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. John 20:23?
