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.
