What are the reasons for confirmation?
At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus Christ, as He had promised, descended upon the disciples of Jesus, giving them strength to preach the Good News. The Bible makes a distinction from Baptism and Confirmation. Acts 8:14-18Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the holy Spirit. When Simon saw that the Spirit was conferred by the laying on of the apostles' hands ...Acts 19:1-6While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior of the country and came (down) to Ephesus where he found some disciples. He said to them, "Did you receive the holy Spirit when you became believers?" They answered him, "We have never even heard that there is a holy Spirit." He said, "How were you baptized?" They replied, "With the baptism of John." Paul then said, "John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul laid (his) hands on them, the holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
Does the Catholic church consider a previous baptism from another faith as valid if that individual as a child was forced to undergo the baptism under threat of punishment?
Any baptism that is forced upon someone else who is in opposition to the baptism is invalid, as the person's dispensation of will is to not receive the sacrament. Sacraments require that the recipient has the explicit or implicit intention to receive them, and if this is missing, the sacrament is either invalid or its graces are impeded from being transmitted. The exact circumstances of the baptism would have to be reviewed, as children are often not in full possession of the faculty of reason until around 7 or 8 years old, which is why infant baptism has the intention supplied by the godparents. If the baptism was valid (say the child was young and just didn't want to be there, etc.) after the above investigation, the Church would receive it as such. The Catholic Church receives any baptism as valid, no matter who the minister, provided the baptism is performed using the proper form and matter (words and materials). This is because the Church recognizes only one baptism, Her own, given to Her by Christ. Throughout the centuries many groups have split from the Church but have taken the sacrament, retaining the matter and form. Because of this they are performing baptismal rites that join their members to the Church of Christ, the Catholic Church, until such a time that these members can reason and personally choose the heretical or schismatic group they have grown up in. Because of this valid baptism, however, when a person of one of these denominations desires to convert to the Catholic Church they do not need to be baptized again, as they have already been implicitly baptized a Catholic. If there is any doubt in regards to the validity of a baptism, the Church through a priest can administer baptism conditionally to remove all doubt.

What is the value of a sacrament?
The Sacrament was to replace the ordinance of sacrifice, which pointed the saints to the coming sacrifice of the Lord. The Sacrament is to point the saints to His atoning sacrifice. We take upon ourselves his name and partake of the bread and water as symbols of His body and blood, and renew the covenants that we have made with Him.
What sacrament gives us access to other sacraments?
Baptism must be received before any of the other sacraments are open to you. It is not a mere formality - in order to receive Christian sacraments one must be a Christian. Baptism leaves a permanent character upon the soul, identifying it before God as one who has received the New Covenant and thus the graces of the New Covenant are made directly available to the soul through the Church of which the soul is now a member.
