When a person is baptized a pastor dips a church member under water and then pulled up. Usually it is said, "Buried with Christ and risen to live with Him." Church membership may be restricted to baptized believers but it is an autonomous church's decision.

Yes. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church 873, people who are baptized have their own part for the mission. CCC 905 states that, "Lay people also fulfill their prophetic mission by evangelization, "that is, the proclamation of Christ by word and the testimony of life."
Currently, there are about 13.5 million baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide. Just over half of these are women and girls over the age of eight - so about 6.5 to 7 million women and girls worldwide are baptized Mormons right now. The Church has not released any statistics on how many people have been members of the Church in the past, so we don't know how many people have been baptized as Mormons total. The Church also does not release any statistics on the age or gender of those baptized. We only know that all baptisms are performed on those who are at least 8 years old, and that slightly over half the members of the Church are women.
The Catholic Church recognizes all legal marriages between baptized Christians. Churches do not marry people. People marry people and the priest/minister is a witness.
