At the church I attend our sacrament is bread and water. The bread representing Jesus' body and the water representing his blood. I guess it sorta represents the atonement.
I hope this advice helps you. Well I would first explain what a sacrament is and what is has to do apart of the liturgy or whatever your doing. I would then tell him the 7 sacraments in order of appearance and then tell him one by one what sacraments mean technicaly and symbolically to interpret the ritual.
the seven sacraments are baptism, Eucharist, reconciliation, confirmation, marriage, holy orders, and anointing of the sick. they are special occasions, or important events in the life of a religious person.

Do you use church's or churches?
Churches is plural of Church(e.g. The town has many churches) Church's is talking about one church. (e.g.: The Church's walls are painted white) You would use Church's to describe one church while you would use Churches in plural sentences. Hope this helped!
How do you describe the Sacraments to another person of Methodist faith?
The Methodists, as do most "Protestant" denominations recognize only two Sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. Both the Western and Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches recognize seven Sacraments. Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation, are the Sacraments of Initiation. The remaining four are Reconciliation [Penance, Confession. and different names for the same Sacrament]; Matrimony; Holy Orders [Ordination to the Priesthood]; and Anointing of the Sick [in the past this was known as 'extreme unction,and understood to be the "Last Rites" received at the point of death... but that is a misunderstanding of the Sacrament]. The 5 additional Sacraments recognized by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches are understood to have been instituted by Christ (as can be found in the Bible). ie: Matrimony - the wedding at Cana. An explanation describing how the Sacraments are Scripturally founded would be the best way to approach the situation.
What do they call very big churches in Europe?
There is no specific term for large churches in Europe. However, the central church of a diocese, the seat of a bishop is called a cathedral and the word is sometimes used incorrectly to describe a large church. Other descriptions for large churches are "minster" and "abbey" although, like cathedral, these both have specific meanings and don't serve to describe the size of a church building.

.Roman Catholic AnswerSince "Real Presence" is the term used to describe what the Council of Trent was saying "in the sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist is contained truly, really, and substantially the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ" (Denzinger 1636, 1640), yes, the Real Presence only refers to the Blessed Sacrament.

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church.

This is usually a clear or red glass lamp on or above the altar where the Blessed Sacrament is reposed.
