As Protestantism encompasses every "Christian" denomination outside of Roman Catholicism, that term is far too vague. The Reformed Faith, also known as Calvinism, holds that there are only two sacraments--neither of them saving--Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

When 7 sacraments were made?

I assume you are referring to the seven sacraments of Catholicism and the Orthodox Churches. The Catholics and Orthodox (which were a single Church until the twelth century, more or less), believe that the seven Sacraments were instituted by Jesus Christ Himself, in an early form, when He was on earth. The seven sacraments are Baptism, Confession or Reconciliation, Eucharist (Communion), Confirmation, Holy Orders, Matrimony (Marriage), and Viaticum (Anointing of the Sick).

Do both Catholic and Protestants believe in that God offers saving grace through sacraments?

No. Neither of them do actually. They both believe (as all Christians do) that salvation comes from a relationship with Jesus. Catholics believe that the sacraments are a time honored tradition that brings believers into a closer relationship with their savior, but most protestants do not believe the sacraments are effective.Roman Catholic Answerfrom Pocket Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Image Books c 1980, 1985 Sacrament. A sensible sign, instituted by Jesus Christ, by which invisible grace and inward sanctification are communicated to the soul. The essential elements of a sacrament of the New Law are institution by Christ the God-man during his visible stay on earth, and a sensibly perceptible rite that actually confers the supernatural grace it symbolizes. In a broad sense every external sign of internal divine blessing is a sacrament. And in this sense there were already sacraments in the Old Law, such as the practice of circumcision. But, as the Council of Trent defined, these ancient rites differed essentially from the sacraments of the New Law, they did not really contain the grace they signified, nor was the fullness of grace yet available through visible channels merited and established by the Savior.In other words, yes, Catholics believe that God offers saving grace through the sacraments. Some Protestants (e.g. Anglicans & Episcopalians) believe that some Sacraments offer some grace (i.e. Baptism) but for the most part, no, they do not believe this.
