It is my understanding that the sacraments are only for Catholics. With this idea, that means that only Catholics may receive the annointing of the sick, correct? Just want to make sure I’ve got that right.

Thanks!

Sort of… There is a provision in the 1983 code of canon law that allows non-Catholics who have the same understanding of the sacraments as we do and who, in a life-or-death situation, cannot access their own minister may petition for reception of Catholic sacraments.
