I was wondering if you could help me with something.
I am from a baptist background & have recently shown
an interest in Catholicism. This has deeply disturbed
by parents, especially my mother, who considers
Catholics "not real Christians," "idolatrous," etc.
Being a strict fundamentalist, she feels faith in
Christ alone saves people. Can you direct me to Bible
verses that indicate the necessity of the sacraments
for salvation?
Thank you very much for your time.

Great to hear you are being drawn to the Catholic Church. Have you taken a look at the Catholic Answers website? ) They have many helpful articles explaining the Catholic faith on the basis of the Bible.
I assume you have already been baptized, but here is an article explaining why that sacrament is necessary for salvation.
They also have articles on confession, communion, anointing of the sick & other sacraments, as well as articles answering common charges against the Catholic Church. After you have read them, let me know if you have other questions.
God bless,
Fr. Bloom
