What is an 'outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace'?
Catholic AnswerThis is directly out of the Baltimore Catechism, number 3, question 574: Q. What is a Sacrament?A. A Sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace.The new Catechism gives this explanation:from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941084"Seated at the right hand of the Father" and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his Body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace.

What is reduction of sacraments?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe reduction of sacraments refers to Martin Luther "throwing out" five of the seven sacraments as he didn't believe they were instituted by Jesus Christ. The two he kept were baptism and Holy Communion (well, a shadow of the Eucharist); the five he threw out were Confirmation, Reconciliation (or Confession), Holy Orders, Matrimony, and Anointing of the Sick.
When was the anointing of the sick instituted by Jesus Christ?
This was never instituted by Jesus Christ but is a church custom that has developed since.

I assume you are referring to the seven sacraments of Catholicism and the Orthodox Churches. The Catholics and Orthodox (which were a single Church until the twelth century, more or less), believe that the seven Sacraments were instituted by Jesus Christ Himself, in an early form, when He was on earth. The seven sacraments are Baptism, Confession or Reconciliation, Eucharist (Communion), Confirmation, Holy Orders, Matrimony (Marriage), and Viaticum (Anointing of the Sick).

.Roman Catholic AnswerNo, the sacraments are the means by which Our Blessed Lord set up - through His Church - to communicate saving grace to us. fromThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941084"Seated at the right hand of the Father" and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his Body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify.1131The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions.
