Yes, Martin Luther rejected the Roman Catholic Church's recognition of seven sacraments, affirming only two: baptism and the Eucharist (Communion). He believed that these two were explicitly instituted by Christ in the Scriptures. Luther viewed the other five sacraments—confirmation, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and matrimony—as human traditions rather than divine mandates. This was part of his broader critique of the Church's authority and practices during the Reformation.
