The Methodists, as do most "Protestant" denominations recognize only two Sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. Both the Western and Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches recognize seven Sacraments. Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation, are the Sacraments of Initiation. The remaining four are Reconciliation [Penance, Confession. and different names for the same Sacrament]; Matrimony; Holy Orders [Ordination to the Priesthood]; and Anointing of the Sick [in the past this was known as 'extreme unction,and understood to be the "Last Rites" received at the point of death... but that is a misunderstanding of the Sacrament]. The 5 additional Sacraments recognized by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches are understood to have been instituted by Christ (as can be found in The Bible). ie: Matrimony - the wedding at Cana. An explanation describing how the Sacraments are Scripturally founded would be the best way to approach the situation.
