Roman Catholic AnswerThe only strictly necessary sacrament, without which one has no Christian life at all is Baptism. To live a good Christian life, one should regularly receive Penance and the Eucharist, and receive confirmation when of age.

And the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is helpful at the end or in sickness, but not necessarily required.

Can an adult be confirmed in the Catholic Faith without a divorce annulment?
If a Catholic receives a civil divorce and remarries without an annulment from the Church, he/she could not receive any sacraments in the Church as the person would be considered as having incurred auto-excommunication.

Until they regularize their matrimonial situation and make a good confession they are barred from receiving Confirmation or any sacrament.
Are the 7 sacraments required to get into heaven?
According to the Catholic faith, yes. But the Bible seems to clearly tell Christians that God is only looking for a personal relationship with His Son Jesus (often called Salvation or Being Born Again) in order to bring you into heaven, but I am very sure it wont hurt to do the good deeds of the 7 Sacraments. Ultimately you must decided who and what you will believe. If you trust the Catholic church is right - then do them sacraments. If you trust the Bible then find out who Jesus is and how to believe on Him.
