What kind of grace the sacraments give?
Catholic AnswerThe sacramental grace received depends entirely on the sacrament being given, the state of the soul and disposition of the person receiving it. All of the sacraments give actual grace, although reception of it is a matter of the disposition of the person when they are receiving it to a certain extent. The sacramental character imparted by baptism, confirmation, and Holy Orders is indelible and imprinted on the soul by the very fact that the sacrament is performed. .from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994Sacramental Grace. The grace conferred by the valid and fruitful reception of the sacraments. It may be one or more of several kinds: 1. Sanctifying grace is communicated in baptism, penance, and in anointing of the sick when needed; 2. Sanctifying grace is always increased when a sacrament is received in the state of grace; 3. Actual grace is given by all the sacraments, either actually at the time of reception or also by title as a person needs divine help; 4. The sacramental character is indelibly imprinted on the soul in baptism, confirmation, and the priesthood; and 5. A distinctive sacramental grace is imparted by each of the seven sacraments, corresponding to their respective purpose in the supernatural life of the soul.

Why are people baptized in a Church?
This is a fairly short answer to a very complicated question. First, let's assume we are talking about water baptism. Some Christians talk about spirit baptism. That is a whole other complicated issue. Three main views on water baptism would include: 1. Water Baptism is part of regeneration. That is, baptism is part of the salvation experience. Without this ritual, one cannot be with God. 2. Water Baptism is a purveyor of grace. Baptism may not save or be part of the salvation experience in the strictest sense, but God gives sacramental grace for the action. 3. Water Baptism is an act of identification. When one decides to follow Christ one publically carries out baptism as a way of identifying with Christ and the church. The first two of these would focus on baptism as a spiritual ritual. The third would focus on baptism as a symbolic ritual. The early church practiced two main rituals. These were Baptism and Eucharist (or Lord's Supper). Some Christian groups have added more over the centuries. There may be other views (especially as one broadens one's definition of Christian), but this is a start.
