Christ instituted 7 Sacraments. How many do you have in your church?

The Catholic teaches Protestants don't have all the Sacraments.

Someone has to decide. Scripture tells us to have the Church settle it.

Back in the day, y'all weren't around :)

No they don't if you are going by the 7 sacraments of the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Most Protestant churches only have 2. Baptism and The Lord's Supper.

This is news to me. Most Protestant sects are against the idea of the sacramental system, chalking it up to Catholic ritualism. And if they do believe in sacraments, usually it's just baptism and marriage. Possibly Holy Orders if they have some sort of hierarchical clerical system.

However, I couldn't tell you if every sect that has one or more sacrament (as Catholics understand them) refer to them as sacraments or understand them the same way that Catholics do.
