Provided that those are supported by the actual words of Jesus and the Apostles, and not some ‘Church’ that’s not really the Body of Christ, and not some ‘sacraments’ that have no foundation in what the Apostles taught, and that the Word is what the Word actually says and not what our own biases want it to say.

“Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1210).

Please explain that some sacraments have no foundation?

So who is the arbiter of what the Word actually says?
