All the rest you mention (the other 5 sacraments, the assistance of Mary, the saints, etc...) are just pretty wrapping paper. Nice to look at, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the gift that's inside. My boy Martin Luther felt the same way, which is why he left the Catholic church.
I admire your conviction and knowledge of your beliefs, but you're like that annoying kid in the back of the class who has her hand up every question and has to show off just exactly how much she knows while the rest of the class just groans and rolls their eyes at her.

Last night myself and three of my Catholic friends (the three of them had all been raised fairly strict Catholic, went to Catholic school as kids, etc.) were discussing the Catholic church. And all of us are contemplating going Lutheran. There's just nothing in the Catholic church for us anymore. To us, it seems that Lutheran is pretty much the same thing, but without all the BS
