.Catholic AnswerHow? By the Grace of God. The Catholic Church is the only one that was established by Our Blessed Savior, and the only One that is His Mystical Body, to which He sent the Holy Spirit to guide it until the end of the world. How is it the One True Church? By the Grace of God.
Anyone who rejects the Catholic Church will go to hell because the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation. However, if someone is innocently ignorant of the Catholic Church and its necessity, they may be saved if they cooperate with whatever grace they have. If they are, it will only be through Christ and His Church.

No, that is called Simony, a very serious immorality.
To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a "day of grace" in the Roman Liturgical Calendar for the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and thus its role is the role of Christ in the life of a believer. The Catholic Church is thus both the teacher of the moral life, and the dispenser of God's grace which enables the Catholic to lead the moral life that he is being taught about.
Roman Catholic AnswerAn Episcopalian, regardless of his persuasion (high church or low church) is still a protestant, even if he likes the more Catholic ceremonies of the high church. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is restricted to those who believe as a Catholic and are in a state of grace (have been baptised, and have been to confession). An Episcopalian is not Catholic, and does not believe as the Catholic Church does. If he does believe what the Catholic Church does, like everyone else, he must attend RCIA classes and be legitimately brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Having been a "high church" Episcopalian myself, I know of what I speak!
Prayer provided some where for people to turn to gave them hope.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the mystical Body of Christ, and His Bride. The Catholic Church is way in which God communicates His love and grace to people. It is up to each individual to cooperate with that grace on his own. The Catholic Church is not a police state trying to enforce a state of affairs, it is God's love given gratuitously, and it is to each individual to keep himself loyal if he wishes to remain in that Love.
Sacraments are not things that are 'kept' in the church. They are religious ceremonies or acts of the Catholic Church that are regarded as an outward and visible sign of divine grace. If you are referring to the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament, it is kept in the tabernacle.
