Reading the responses on here, it seems that there really isn't much, if any, disagreement on the number of sacraments. Those that say seven sacraments are saying that two are sacraments of the gospel that generally necessary for salvation, while the other five are not in the same category as the gospel sacraments. Those who say two sacraments of the gospel point out that there are 5 other sacramental rites. It sounds like we are all pretty much saying the same thing.

I almost wanted to say "not quite" but I think you are basically on the money with what you've written here.

There are some Anglicans to be found somewhere who see it in a 2, period...or OTOH a 7, period, way; but I think your point here is sound.
