History of Catholic sacraments

Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 19c19,21

Baptism is given to infants in the Church and upon entering adulthood, the baptised make a personal commitment in the sacrament of Confirmation. Adult converts may be baptized and confirmed. If they have been baptized using a formula naming "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" in another Christian church they may be simply received into the Church and confirmed.

Confirmation is a sacrament commonly given to young people; the age for the reception of confirmation varies from nation to nation, and even from diocese to diocese in some countries, but ranges from about 7 to about 15. Adult converts who were previously baptized with a trinitarian formula are received into communion in the Catholic Church by confirmation.
