Presbyterians talk about sacraments as an "outward sign of an inward grace." In other words, a sacrament is both a visible sign (the bread and wine in communion; water in baptism) and an inward reality of the grace of God.
Presbyterians only recognize two sacraments, baptism and communion, because they were the only practices commanded directly by Jesus in the New Testament.

The third sacrament of Holy Orders is the Sacrament of the Episcopate, which ordains bishops. Bishops are responsible for the spiritual leadership and governance of a diocese and have the authority to ordain priests and deacons.

No, the clergy in the Presbyterian denominations are not priests. By definition, a priest is an intermediary between the worshippers and God, and in Presbyterian theology, each believer can and should approach God directly with no mediator other than Jesus Christ. Presbyterian clergy preach and teach from the Scripture, administer the Sacraments (Baptism and the Lord's Supper) and provide pastoral care and counseling to members.

Lutheranism is not dogmatic about the number of sacraments. Baptism and Holy Communion are clearly held as sacraments by formal Lutheran teaching. So, Lutherans often refer to the "two sacraments." Traditionally however, Lutherans often refer to "Confession and Abolution" as "the third sacrament" whether or not it is clearly defined in Lutheran symbolical writings as a sacrament. Despite the common moniker "third sacrament," some Lutheran bodies actually consider it a sacrament and some simply use it to acknowledge it's 'divine mandate combined with temporal means' which is part of the definition of a sacrament according to many historic Christian communities.
