Baptism can be for other Christian faiths, not just Catholic. So if you are becoming a Christian, you are baptised.
A person is a Catholic from the minute that he is born, if he is born into a Catholic family, or when he first starts studying for Baptism. An adult in RCIA (the program for adult converts) would be buried in a Catholic cemetery if he died before Baptism.
Baptism of blood refers to martyrdom. A person who through no fault of their own has not been baptized but dies for the Faith will be saved anyway.

All Catholic Church (structure) accepts baptism of any member of the Catholic Church (we, the people are the Church)..Catholic AnswerNot real sure what you're asking. The Catholic Church accepts any baptism done in any other Church as long as it is either done with immersion, or the water is poured on the forehead, along with the words, "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Ghost)," WITH the intention to do what the Church does when it baptizes. The person doing the baptism does not even have to be baptized themselves. The person pouring the water and saying the words must be the same person. It must be pure water, and it cannot just be sprinkled. It there is any doubt about the intention, the actual running of pure water, or the formula used, then the baptism will need to be repeated conditionally.
Answer: The similarities between infant baptism and believer's baptism are the following: - water is used - a profession of faith in Christ is made, either by the person being baptised (if he or she is old enough) or by the parents of the child being baptised.
