Some people attend church because they are Christian. Others are Christian because they attend church. These two groups do not serve the same god. And now, in the absence of church services, this is growing more starkly apparent.
Each Sacrament has a requirement from us to fulfill the contract. Failing to do so through constant choices does not make one a Christian at all. Many will call Lord, Lord. It’s brutally sad, but must be said.

Hm. Have to read “Swear to God” by Scott Hahn? The efficacy of the Sacraments is not dependent on our effectiveness, but on God’s. The primacy is on His Grace and not on our ability. There is danger in your line of thinking that may teeter on Pelagianism or self-improvement.

The efficiency of the Sacraments is not dependent on our effectiveness, correct. I’d never claim such. But being baptized and going to church every Sunday as you spend the rest of your life spitting on people in need is hardly following Christ, is it?
