Which list correctly identifies the Seven Sacraments as described?

• A. Baptism, Confession, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Anointing
• B. Baptism, Confession, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders
• C. Baptism, Confession, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Last Rites
• D. Baptism, Confession, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, Last Rites

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is knowing the seven sacraments and how they are named in Catholic teaching. The standard list includes Baptism, Reconciliation (Confession), the Eucharist (Communion), Confirmation, Matrimony (Marriage), Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick. In some traditional or older catechesis, the term Last Rites is used to describe the set of rites given to someone near death, and it is often used as a way to refer to the same sacramental action now called Anointing of the Sick. So the choice that lists Baptism, Confession, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and Last Rites matches that phrasing, treating Last Rites as the traditional language for Anointing of the Sick. This aligns with how the seven sacraments are commonly described in many OCIA materials, where Last Rites stands in for the sacrament now called Anointing of the Sick. The other options either omit the Anointing of the Sick (in modern terms) or pair it with Last Rites in a way that doesn’t reflect how the seven sacraments are typically enumerated today.
