Presbyterians celebrate 2 sacraments - Baptism and Holy Communion.
Baptism, Communion, & Confirmation.
Presbyterians have only two sacraments: The Lord's Supper and Baptism. Other rites such as marriage, confirmation and ordination are important, but not regarded as sacramental.
Presbyterians celebrate two sacraments Baptism and Communion (also known as the Lord's supper). Baptism is for those who publicly profess faith in Jesus as adults, or for the children of believers. Communion may be celebrated as often as three or four times a year, although some congregations celebrate it monthly
Presbyterians talk about sacraments as an "outward sign of an inward grace." In other words, a sacrament is both a visible sign (the bread and wine in communion; water in baptism) and an inward reality of the grace of God. Presbyterians only recognize two sacraments, baptism and communion, because they were the only practices commanded directly by Jesus in the New Testament.
Catholics are part of the Roman Catholic Church while Presbyterians are part of the Reformed Protestant tradition. Catholics believe in the authority of the Pope and sacraments while Presbyterians follow a Presbyterian form of government with elected elders. Additionally, Catholics have a strong emphasis on tradition and liturgical worship, whereas Presbyterians typically have a simpler worship style.

The Presbyterian Church stemmed from the Church of Scotland and the church of Scotland is one of the major religious institutes, so I am sure there are many.
In colonial America, Presbyterians settled from Maine to Georgia. The Puritans of Massachusetts and Connecticut were originally Presbyterians. They split into Congregationalists and Presbyterians. In New York and New Jersey, as many of the Dutch learned English they left the Dutch Reformed Church and became Presbyterians. Huguenot refugees from France became Presbyterians. In the South, many Scots and Scotch Irish brought Presbyterianism with them. Thus, While there were no Presbyterian colonies south of New England, there were groups of Presbyterians throughout the colonies.
I think so.
Presbyterians celebrate Holy Communion and Baptism as essential sacraments that signify God's grace and covenant with believers. Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is observed as a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice, fostering communal worship and spiritual nourishment. Baptism symbolizes initiation into the Christian faith and the church community, representing God's promise and the believer's response to grace. Both sacraments are seen as means of grace that strengthen faith and encourage a deeper relationship with God.
