I need help! Can I write " sacrament of holy matramony" if I am not baptized Catholic? from everyone I've talked to including Catholics, they said we could inclide that even if we were not taking communion. Is that acurate?

    A sacrament happens when 2 baptized people marry. Even 2 baptized protestants have a sacrament of marriage. If either person is not baptized at all, it is not a sacrament.

    The Eucharist is its own sacrament.

    If you do write it, be sure to write, "Sacrament of Holy Matrimony."

    I am writting Sacramen of Holy Matramony"  but I was told it did not matter if I was baptized. I have never heard that

    I had never heard that, our priest had said its still a Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, and he knows I'm not baptized.

    kayla, are you baptized anything?  as long as you are baptized, the denomination does not matter.

    yes...if one or both of a couple are not baptized at all, it is not a sacrament. Both have to be baptized (any denomination) for it to be a sacrament.

    Is it not a sacrament for the baptized party if the other is unbaptized?

    Both people have to be baptized for it to be a sacrament. Baptism opens the door for the sacrament. One cannot receive the graces from the sacrament if the other can't.
