Explain why the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are a rite of passage?

A sacrament is a religious action that is said to impart merit to those doing it.
First of all, let it be noted that nowhere in the Scriptures is any sacrament mentioned.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume II, states that ‘Holy Baptism holds the first place among the sacraments, because it is the door of the spiritual life; for by it we are made members of Christ and incorporated with the Church. . . . The effect of this sacrament is the remission of all sin, original and actual; likewise of all punishment which is due for sin.
Remission comes only through Jehovah’s provision of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. The sacrifice of Jesus’ perfect human life frees mankind from sin and death, as stated in John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 9:24-26; 1 John 2:1, 2. Neither could a dipping in water save the individual of the corrupt world from punishment that is due for willful sin, as pointed out in John 15:19; Galatians 1:3, 4; Revelation 18:3-8. Immersion in water does not constitute an individual a member of the church, the body of Christ, the spiritual congregation.—2 Thess. 2:13; John 17:6; Rom. 8:30.
