Best Answer

No. Catechism is a book about the principles, rules, teachings of the Catholic Church. Confrmation is a sacrament where a young person confirms their membership of the Catholic Church. They take responsibility for this as they could not do so when they were a baby at the time they would have been baptised.

Do baptists baptize or use confirmation for adults?

Baptism is the closest thing to confirmation in the Baptist church. To go through baptism a believer confesses their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and is voted on by the congregation to be accepted into the congregation. Baptism by the pastor or an ordained minister follows. Confirmation in many churches follows a program of catechism that affirms a person in the faith and answers many questions that a person might have in their faith journey. In the Baptist church they rely on the Sunday School to continue someones faith journey even as an adult.
