As a faithful member of the Church.
In the sacrament of Confirmation, the Holy Ghost is given to the person confirmed.
The word for the person to be confirmed is a confirmand.
Technically, the word for the person receiving Confirmation is the "confirmand". It is pronounced as con-fir-mand. This term is used for both boys and girls. Laypersons however might simply refer to the person as The Confirmed. Either way is acceptable.
In the Catholic Church, the items used in Confirmation are holy chrism oil, which is blessed by a bishop, and a sign of the cross made by the bishop on the forehead of the person being confirmed. In some traditions, a confirmation name may also be chosen by the person being confirmed.
You can not make anyone or thing take their confirmation into the Church. It is a purely voluntery act of religious faith. The service is known as Confirmation. A train ticket can not be Confirmed into the Church.
No, you would need to be confirmed to be a sponsor.
A Confirmation sponsor is a confirmed Catholic in good standing who mentors the Confiramation candidate before he or she is confirmed. Traditionally the Confirmation sponsor is a Godparent (connecting Baptism to Confirmation), but does not have to be.
Confirmation is not necessary for salvation. It's purpose is to make Catholics "soldiers of Christ," ready to defend their Faith. The person confirmed receives the Holy Spirit and His graces.
