If a priest is one who uses the Sacraments as a weapon, then I leave. Saving my soul is not of primary interest to him. I’m not going to be a sacrificial pawn in his game of chess.

I agree 100%. It's such a shame that certain R&R and Sede priests have  "weaponized" the sacraments. Whether it's R&R priests refusing sacraments to sedes or Sede priests refusing sacraments to other Sedes who are either pro-Thuc bishops and/or pro-Una cuм.  I don't deal with that nonsense either.

Well, there are places I go where I realize I'd be refused if they knew what I thought about certain issues ... so I don't tell them.  They don't have a right to know and to withhold Sacraments from the faithful.  No, we're not heretics for believing that there's no salvation outside the Church, or for thinking that someone else is not a heretic if they put a putative Conciliar pope's name in the Canon, or if I don't think the CMRI are schismatic Old Catholics just because their founder originally received consecration from an Old ROMAN Catholic (evidently these guys don't even know what that is) ... since Canon Law declares such to be suspended (not to have contracted heresy as if it were a contagion of some kind), and they did ask DQ Brown to repudiate any schism/heresy beforehand, and he did so.  Even if you think their (Thuc-line) Sacraments are doubtful, you may not refuse me the Sacraments because I disagree.  Who do you think you are?  Nobody gave you the authority to impose your opinions on consciences, i.e who died and made you popes?  You have zero authority, not even that of a pre-V2 pastor of a parish, and Holy Orders was not given to you because you're so worthy of it (as no one is) and so that you can use it to lord it over the lay faithful, and have them bowing their heads to you, calling you Father (they're reverencing Our Lord, BTW, not you), and many of you would have to work your way up to shift manager at a McDonald's were you laicized right now.

Harsh words, but I'm fed up with the mini-popes using the Sacraments as weapons, when the faithful requesting the Sacraments from the provides the only justification for their operating as priests and for having received Holy Orders.
