Oops!  Just got home after a long day working Mothers' Day brunch.  The two posts above are mine.  Cheers.

Just as the God of Nature is not bound by His own laws to the extent that He cannot do as He pleases, occasionally setting them aside to perform a miracle, so He is not bound to limit Himself ONLY to the Sacraments He established to communicate the graces thereof.  

God does not lie, when he says that it's not without water and the holy spirit.

Thank you for the predictably profound contribution, delivered in gutless, anonymous fashion.
The SACRAMENT requires water (the matter) and the proper form.  The GRACE of the Sacrament is an entirely different thing, and there is no reason whatsoever that the God of the Sacraments cannot give the GRACE of the Sacrament outside/apart from the Sacrament itself.  This is precisely what happens when one makes a spiritual communion. 
I eagerly await your profound, anonymous response.

Unless I am missing something, he was corrected.  Didn't take.
Just as one can receive a Sacrament yet fail to receive the grace thereof (due to improper dispositions), so can one receive the grace of certain Sacraments without receiving the Sacrament itself.  Does it happen often?  Dunno.  Don't care.  Not my business as it is infinitely above my pat grade.

The above was my reply to your comment, Ladislaus, about being open, as Fr. Feeney, to correction, etc.  Sorry for any confusion.
