“Well, sez you.

God’s Word has no sacramental system of merit.

I belong to a universal church, but not a Roman church.

Best

God's Word gave God's Church authority thus:

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

For emphasis, Matthew puts those words of Jesus into his gospel twice: Matt. 19:18 AND Matt. 18:18

Just going out on a limb here, but I am guessing you might say your church has no such authority to bind or loose; and I'm guessing I might agree with you.
