The difference between rite and ritual are not easy to explain and define as it seems that the rite is the archeotype for any possible ritualization and the ritual is the concrete local experience of the rite.
The sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church are specific rites instituted by Christ that confer grace, with seven recognized sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. In contrast, other religions may have similar rites or rituals, but they often do not emphasize the same concept of sacramental grace or a defined number of sacraments. For example, many Protestant denominations recognize only two sacraments—Baptism and Eucharist—while other faiths may have their own unique ceremonies that focus on life events or spiritual milestones. Additionally, the theological understanding and significance of these rituals can vary greatly between religions.
Rituals are a sequence of actions or behaviors performed in a specific order for a particular purpose, often with symbolic meaning. Rites are formal ceremonies or observances that mark significant events or transitions, such as a marriage or a funeral. In essence, rituals are the actions involved, while rites are the ceremonies or events themselves.
That is the correct spelling of the plural noun "sacraments" (Christian rites).

Rites? Do you mean Rituals? I don't speak for all Pentecostal Churches but I can tell you that all rituals have a ruler. Rites or rituals are performed for or to someone or something. I personally don't know about your rites but ask yourself are they performed to Jesus? If it's not Jesus, then it's idolatry (per the word). God Bless You!

Hindu sacraments, known as "samskaras," are rites of passage that mark significant stages in an individual's life, from birth to death. There are traditionally 16 major samskaras, which include ceremonies such as naming (Namakarana), initiation (Upanayana), marriage (Vivaha), and funeral rites (Antyesti). These rituals are intended to purify the individual, ensure spiritual growth, and align them with societal and familial duties. Each samskara is deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy, serving both spiritual and social purposes.
