The only strictly necessary sacrament, without which one has no Christian life at all is Baptism. To live a good Christian life, one should regularly receive Penance and the Eucharist, and receive confirmation when of age. The sacraments of Matrimony and Holy Orders are only appropriate for those who have that vocation. And the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is helpful at the end or in sickness, but not necessarily required.
