Do you have to use holy water to baptise as Catholics?
Normally, a baptism is done by a priest, deacon, or bishop and the water is always blessed. However, in an emergency, they may use any unadulterated water, even without the appropriate blessing. As a matter of fact, in danger of death, for instance in an operating or delivery room, ANYONE can baptize with normal water in an emergency by pouring water on the person's head and pronouncing the words, "I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen." while intending to do what the Church does when baptizing. Please note that any time an emergency baptism is performed by non-clergy, the person baptizing should notify the priest as soon afterward as possible. There are some other rites which accompany baptism which the priest can perform later (if the person lives), and if they live they will need to be instructed in the Catholic Christian faith. Regardless, the priest has to record the baptism in the registry.
