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.

When someone speaks about the "four sacraments of forgiveness" they are referring to Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick. Each of these sacraments have components of forgiveness within them.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Sacraments are visible signs of the hidden realities. The saving work of Jesus Christ, his holy and sanctifying humanity is the sacrament of salvation, which is revealed and active in the Church's sacraments. ( CCC 774). ... Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify. (CCC 1084) "Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. (Cf. Council of Trent (1547): Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorun, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum (1965) - (CCC 1127). The four sacraments, as mentioned above, that give forgiveness are Baptism, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, and the Eucharist forgives venial sin. All of these work efficaciously as Christ himself is as work in them, they depend (except baptism) on the receptivity of the individual for the actual grace received.
Presbyterians believe in two sacraments: baptism and communion. They see sacraments as visible signs of God's grace, demonstrating spiritual realities. Baptism is a symbol of initiation into the Christian community, while communion is a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice and a means of spiritual nourishment.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe priest can administer the sacraments and confect the Eucharist through the power and authority given him at his ordination, he can also forgive our sins through the sacrament of penance. In other words, he brings God to people and people to God.
