O que é: A Igreja Apostólica Armênia entende a vida cristã em chave profundamente sacramental.

Como a tradição entende: Batismo, crisma, eucaristia, penitência em formas próprias, matrimônio, ordem, unção e outras bênçãos estruturam a vida da comunidade e da pessoa fiel.

Base e contexto: A liturgia e a tradição pastoral mostram a centralidade dessa visão sacramental.

Debates e variações: A terminologia e o enquadramento comparativo podem diferir de outras tradições, mas a sacramentalidade é inequívoca.
