Who should receive the sacrament of the sick?
As far as my knowledge reaches, Christian Catholicism is the only religion known to practice the anointing of the sick or also known as last rites. Last rites involves receiving the Eucharist and an anointing of oil. People who are on the verge of death, or seem to be, or are going in for a serious surgery that could end in death, and are Catholic, may receive this sacrament. If one is not confirmed, has not had a first communion Eucharist, baptized or had a confession, then these are all part of the last rites that are being administered. if one has received all these sacraments, then the Eucharist is the only sacrament received along with the anointing, although confession may be a part of it as well.
