What do Catholics believe about the sacraments?

Catholics believe that sacraments are sacred rituals instituted by Jesus Christ to convey God's grace to believers. They believe there are seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. These sacraments are seen as outward signs of inward grace and are essential for spiritual growth and salvation.
