In researching the history of sacraments, I discovered that the enumeration of seven sacraments did not occur until about the 12th century. Since the schism between the Orthodox and the Catholic Churches was already well along at this point, it stands to reason that the Orthodox may not count the sacraments in the same way Catholics do. Perhaps some sacramentals are counted as sacraments, or perhaps some of the sacraments of initiation are combined as one.
Do the Orthodox count exactly the same 7 sacraments that we in the Catholic Church do?
(I realize this has been asked before, but since forum staff are reviewing the old Eastern Christianity forum, those archives are not yet available.)
