Well I'm pretty sure Orthodoxy views the Sacraments to go along with our walk.

Catholics see the sacraments as means of grace from God.

Well I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Christians would go alone with that. As far as you care to take that.

Human instituted rites are not sacraments.
Lutherans believe that the sacraments are commanded by God, have a visible element (means) and offer God's grace (forgiveness). God's Word is in the sacraments and we know that God's Word is alive and active and gives us and strengthens faith.
The word sacrament is not found in the bible. But neither are other words that we use such as trinity or bible. Lutherans believe that Baptism and the Lords Supper are sacraments since God instituted them and they give the forgiveness to us that was won at the cross by Jesus the Savior.
