Protestants, in general, have difficulty understanding what the Catholic Church calls sanctification through the remedies of faith: the sacraments. They do not recognize them as seven, as the Church teaches, Baptism, the Eucharist, Matrimony, and the others, because, according to their interpretation, they are not explicitly established in Scripture.
Even so, they acknowledge that there are concrete acts of obedience to God: marriage, honest work, moral discipline, and a life ordered according to the Word. They admit that faith is not merely an interior belief, but something that must manifest itself in visible and material actions. And this is precisely the central point that often goes unnoticed: in practice, they already accept that God sanctifies man through concrete means.
The divergence, therefore, is not about the existence of material paths to sanctification, but about how these paths are understood. What, in their language, is called obedience, holy living, or faithfulness to the Word, in Catholic logic finds its fullest and most objective expression in the sacraments, not as mere symbols, but as means instituted by Christ Himself to communicate grace.
The foundation of this is simple: God is not a philosophical abstraction. He entered history, took on flesh, and sanctified matter. Christ Himself instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper, consecrated Baptism, elevated Matrimony, and lived a life of fasting. Grace was not left on the level of ideas, but entrusted to visible signs, accessible to man in his concrete condition.
When Christ says, “It is finished,” He did not abolish the life of obedience, but consummated the work that makes it effective. The Cross did not eliminate the need to live according to God; it opened the way for life itself to become a real participation in grace.
Christianity was never merely an interior belief, but an incarnate reality. Faith does not exist only in thought, but is expressed and brought to fulfillment in the visible world. The sacraments are the clearest expression of this logic: not merely signs of man’s faith, but instruments through which God Himself acts to sanctify him.

When Jesus said, “It is finished,” He was setting us free from performative religious practices like these. x.com/rosaryquotes12…
