Of what religion are the sacraments of Baptism Confirmation and Eucharist a feature?
Baptism is a feature of all Christian religions because Jesus said that unless one is baptised with water and the Holy Spirit one cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. Some religions have a confirmation ceremony where one is formally accepted into the faith and the ceremony of the Eucharist varies from one religion to another. The Roman Catholic observes seven sacraments: (1) Baptism (2) confession where one secretly tells the priest their sins (3) Penance which invoves 'punishment' for their sins. These days, that punishment means saying certain prayers prescribed by the priest (4) Communion Eucharist or the Mass, a bloodless sacrifice where the offerings of bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Christ (5) Confirmation, where one is officially received into the Church and takes a saint's name. (6) Marriage or Holy Orders. This sacrament is two pronged. From ancient times the Church has considered that if one does not marry, then one should seriously consider entering Holy Orders.

The two Sacraments that enable us to participate in Jesus Christ's priesthood are Baptism and Holy Orders. Through Baptism, we are incorporated into Christ's priesthood and share in His mission of proclaiming the Good News. Through Holy Orders, men are ordained to the ministerial priesthood, enabling them to act in the person of Christ and offer the Sacrifice of the Mass.
Are there required sacraments for baptists?
Baptists practice the Lord's Supper (communion) and Baptism of believers as the two acts of faith-obedience (we do not call them sacraments), Jesus Himself participated in the communion and was baptized. Jesus commanded His followers to do both of these acts in obedience to Him, but not for salvation. To the Baptist Salvation was achieved in total by Christ's death atonement for sins on the cross alone, and not by anything humans can do to earn this salvation. They differ from the other ordinances of God in that they were specially instituted by Christ Himself. Baptists call them "ordinances" (meaning "obedience to a command that Christ has given us") instead of "sacraments" (activities God uses to impart salvation or a means of grace to the participant). Baptist theology considers that no saving grace is conveyed by either ordinance and that original sin is not washed away in baptism. Baptists have traditionally believed that they are symbols. Jesus commanded that the Passover bread and wine would be a remembrance of Him in what we now call communion ...
Jesus said
Luke 22:18-20
"20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you." And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
Jesus said
Mark 16:15-16 "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."
What were the seven sacraments and the book of common prayer?

The Book of Common Prayer sought to preserve the catholic religion, while remaining acceptable to those influenced by protestantism.

The "lesser" sacraments include: confirmation, marriage, unction (or anointing with oil for healing), and ordination of clergy.
The Book of Common Prayer includes forms for administration of all seven sacraments.
Does the Salvation Army use sacraments?
No The Salvation Army does not partake in the sacraments but they also do not tell their members that they cannot do so if at a visiting church.
They believe that no outward ceremony is essential to salvation.
Much of the reasoning I believe is because too many people put their faith in these ceremonies rather than leaving their faith in God. Too many people focus everything in their rituals rather than where it should be.
A quote from a book This we believe by John Coutts says:
"The Army, which has never pronounced anybody's ceremony invalid, believes that all life should be hallowed by the Spirit of God. and that there is no need to suppose that Jesus, in AD 33 was laying down ruules as to what should be done 1900 yeas later."
As General Albert Orsborn wrote:
"My life must be Christ's broken bread, My love his outpoured wine, A cup o'erfilled, a table spread Beneath his name and sign, That other souls, refreshed and fed, May share his life through mine."

What does the 6th sacrament mean?
The 6th sacrament of the Catholic Church is Holy Orders. Order is the appropriate disposition of things equal and unequal, by giving each its proper place. Christ founded His Church as a supernatural society, the Kingdom of God. In this society there must be the power of ruling; and also the principles by which the members are to attain their supernatural end, viz., supernatural truth, which is held by faith, and supernatural grace by which man is formally elevated to the supernatural order. Thus, besides the power of jurisdiction, the Church has the power of teaching (magisterium) and the power of conferring grace(power of order). This power of order was committed by our Lord to His Apostles, who were to continue His work and to be His earthly representatives. TheApostles received their power from Christ: "as the Father hath sent me, I also send you" (John 20:21). Christ possessed fullness of power in virtue of Hispriesthood--of His office as Redeemer and Mediator. He merited the grace which freed man from the bondage of sin, which grace is applied to man mediately by the Sacrifice of the Eucharist and immediately by the sacraments. He gave His Apostles the power to offer the Sacrifice (Luke 22:19), and dispense thesacraments (Matthew 28:18; John 20:22, 23); thus making them priests. It is true that every Christian receives sanctifying grace which confers on him apriesthood. Even as Israel under the Old dispensation was to God "a priestly kingdom" (Exodus 19:4-6), thus under the New, all Christians are "a kinglypriesthood" (1 Peter 2:9); but now as then the special and sacramental priesthood strengthens and perfects the universal priesthood (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:3, 6; Romans 15:16).
