But remember, the sacraments are the works of God, not of man.

No, they are things that man must do to allegedly avail himself of God's grace.

That makes sacraments a work.

If it was God doing it, then He's just do it without man having to do anything to *merit* it.

A Sacrament, as you well know, is an outward sign, instituted by Christ to give grace....remember???

Then by that same reasoning, is not faith a work, something that man must do to avail himself of God's grace?
