"Universal" because the Church spreads the Gospel of Christ to all people, races, and nationalities.

"Sacrament" is a visible sign of God's invisible grace. The Church is the visible manifestation of god's grace to all people.

"Salvation" because while only Jesus Christ can save us, the Church (people) are the ones who lead others to Jesus Christ. Additionally, the Church is the Body of Christ and Jesus Christ is the head of the body of people known as the Church.
