Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the Church as a sacrament in three different senses:from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
1. Properly, the Church is the universal Sacrament of Salvation:
774 ... The Church, then, both contains and communicates the invisible grace she signifies. It is in this analogical sense, that the Church is called a "sacrament."
　
2. In the second sense, the Church is the sacrament of the mission of Christ and the Holy Spirit:
　738 Thus the Church's mission is not an addition to that of Christ and the Holy Spirit, but is its sacrament: in her whole being and in all her members, the church is sent to announce, bear witness, make present, and spread the mystery of the communion of the Holy Trinity...
and, finally to sum up the "universal sacrament of salvation:
　849 The missionary mandate. "Having been divinely sent to the nations that she might be 'the universal sacrament of salvation,' the Church, in obedience to the command of her founder and because it is demanded by her own essential universality, strives to preach the Gospel to all men": (Ad gentes 1; cf. Mt 16:15) "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and Lo, I am with you always, until the close of the age." (Mt 28:19-20)
