Have you compared this with the full Catechism of the Catholic Church? On the sacraments especially, whereas Westminster only acknowledges two sacraments and the Catholic Church has long proclaimed seven.
I have not studied the RC catechism. I am aware of the fact that Roman Catholics hold there to be seven sacraments. Respectfully, it's just one of many points of disagreement.
In a nutshell, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper / Eucharist are both directly instituted by Christ in the Gospels as means of grace whereas the other five are not (at least in the same way). I’m not prepared to give a full defense on the fly. 😁 I’m not be hostile about it, just a traditional difference between Protestant and Roman Catholics.
Q. 85. What doth God require of us that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?
A. To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requireth of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, with the diligent use of all the outward means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption.
Thank God He is both our Lawgiver and Saviour, Judge and Advocate!!! 🙌

Hi,
I have not studied the RC catechism. I am aware of the fact that Roman Catholics hold there to be seven sacraments. Respectfully, it's just one of many points of disagreement.
What is the argument for only endorsing two sacraments, then?

Amen!
