Catechumens- sacraments used for: Baptism and Anointing of the Sick

Chrism- sacraments used for: Confirmation

I know of no such other oil used in Catholicism although there is a slight possibility that there is one other oil, although I've never heard of it.
1- The Oil of Catechumens

2- The Holy Chrism or Oil of Gladness

The oils are actually:

SC = Sacrum Chrisma = Sacred Chrism

OC = Oleum Catechumenorum = Oil of the Catechumens

OI = Oleum Infirmorum = Oil of the Infirm/Sick

The only change here is OI to OS (Oil of Sick)

.

At Baptism Sacrum Chrisma is always used, and the Oleum Catechumenorum may be used.

.

The three oils used in the sacramental celebrations of the Roman Catholic Church are:

.

- Sacred Chrism (SC), a perfumed oil (usually balsam) used at priest and bishop ordinations, confirmations, dedication of altars and churches.

- Oil of the Sick (OI, oleum infirmorum), used in the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

- Oil of Catechumens (OS, oleum sanctum, or OC, oleum catechumenorum), used in various pre-baptismal anointings.

.

These oils are normally blessed by a diocesan bishop at the Chrism Mass, held on the morning of Holy Thursday (or at another time late in Lent). There are other uses of sacramental oils in the Eastern Churches and in the Traditional Roman Rite.

They would be:

  • The Oil of the Catechumens - used in Baptism
  • Holy Chrism - used in Baptism, Confirmation and Priestly Ordination
  • The Oil of the Sick - used in the Sacrament of the Sick or "Anointing of the Sick" Extreme Unction is a pre Vatican II term no longer being used.

Actually there are three blessed oils and two are used for Baptism. The first baptismal oil is called the oil of catechumens; the second is the chrism of salvation. the third oil is used for the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick and is called the oil of the Sick.

The Chrism oil is also used for the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Orders for a priest.

All the oils are olive oils; the Chrism has a perfume in it similar to the Myrrh that Jesus received from the Wise Men

All the oils are blessed olive oils. The three oils used are for newly baptized (oil of catechumens), the sick (oil of the sick), and for baptized, confirmed ,or priesthood 9 sacred chrism). The chrism has a perfumed balsam mixed in. All are used only for these sacraments.

You know that Mormon was the name of a prophet historian and the name was used in the book Book of Mormon so when did the religion start to prefer the term LDS?

Yes it is true that Mormon is the name of a prophet and historian in the Book of Mormon, but members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have always preferred to be called "Latter Day Saints" since the beginning.Much of this comes from this verse:"And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called on my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon the Gospel." -Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 27:8Calling them "Mormons" gives the false illusion that they worship Mormon, not Jesus Christ, and also that they only use the Book of Mormon, when they also use the Bible.Also, the nickname "Mormon" was given to Church Members by enemies of the Church, so you can understand why they aren't thrilled about using it.Rather than make a big deal about it, they have largely accepted the nickname, although many members find it desrespectful or offensive.
