Apostolic Father St. Ignatius of Antioch (c35-107) who was a disciple of John and Peter wrote in his letters: "Beware of the heretics. They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in His goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes!"
"Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
-Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8

You are missing the most significant and important part of what makes someone a member of Christ’s body. Jesus said it himself ye must be born again. None of the Creed sacraments or anything you mention brought to light the necessity of being saved by grace through faith. And one more important thing that you left out - the Bible.

The Church came before the Bible, so no, Christians don't need the Bible to be Christian. You've put the cart seven miles in front of the horse.
Second, the sacrament of baptism is being born again; confirmation is its seal. Jesus in the Eucharist heals our sinful nature through His perfect and unmerited love for us. He pulls us back up through confession, builds selflessness in matrimony and Holy Orders, and assures us of our salvation in extreme unction. Without them, how can you receive Him who saves? It's like saying, "Don't worry about trucks; food grows on a farm and goes to the store.

@ You are condemned by your own words and definitely not in harmony with Jesus Christ who tells us to search the scriptures John 5:39-47, tells mean they err because they know not the scriptures Mt. 22:29, you do not follow the apostolic model set forth by Paul who reasoned out of the scriptures Acts 17:2, you forsake the tradition of the early church who searched the scriptures daily Acts 17:11, the scripture was made manifest for the obedience of faith Rom. 16:26, the scriptures were given to make us wise concerning salvation 2 Timothy 3:14-17, the scripture reveals the gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. The Bible is what determines our faith Romans 10:1-17. The Bible teaches us about believer’s baptism Acts 8, Shows us the meaning of the Lord’s supper 1 Corinthians 11, the Bible teaches who our intercessor is 1 John 2:1, Our holy orders are simple John 8:31-32 I would say this 2 Corinthians 6:11-18. Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth…

I was gonna say the early Church didn’t have the Bible that we reconfirm today, back in the first 3 centuries. There were writings, including the didache, which is a pretty much an instruction manual. The Bible was canonized in the late 4th century. Even the doctrine of the Trinity was formed by the Catholic Church in the early 4th century, without the Bible in place.
