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.

Roman Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowlege, the sacrament of confirmation has never been know as the "sacrament of witnessing", at least not in any Catholic Encyclopedia OR Catechism that I have and they are from the Council of Trent up to the current Catechism of the Catholic Church.
It is a good thing.
Catechism Classes are classes held in person or online to prepare young Catholics, or those who are interested in converting, about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Children are required to attend catechism classes as part of their preparation to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation. The catechism is often used to refer to a book containing the official teaching on behalf of the Catholic Church and used by Catholics to learn about their faith. There are many different books published including the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2nd Edition, the Baltimore Catechism (which is written in a way to for children to understand), the Catechism of the Council of Trent, the Catechism of St. Pius X, and the Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In addition, some online based Catholic organizations such as CatechismClass.com exist to present materials from all of these catechisms in a way to holistically teach the teachings of the Church.
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.
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.

The exact same thing that clergy have always done: they celebrated the seven sacraments, they prayed the Divine Office, they counseled people, they taught Catechism, prepared sermons, baptized babies, married people, and buried them.

Yes, the Catechism of the Council of Trent, also known as the Roman Catechism, is considered authoritative and reliable teaching by the Catholic Church, but it is not considered infallible in the same way that papal or conciliar pronouncements are. It does provide a comprehensive and orthodox presentation of Catholic doctrine.
