A Catholic baptism is when a baby or new convert is presented to a priest to become a member of the Catholic Church. A baptism ceremony is then performed, with the baby being sprinkled with holy water. This is a way of introducing the baby or convert into the church. It is believed that someone must be baptized to get to heaven, and that infants should be baptized as soon as possible to assure that they are not automatically destined to hell.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons) has a few kinds of blessings. Usually when a baby is born or a young child is adopted, they are presented to the congregation and given a 'name and a blessing'. This is not considered a baptism or a required ordinance, but is more of a prayer of hope for the child's life and serves as a way to introduce them into the church family. Mormons also perform blessings for healing the sick, guidance, and comfort.
Mormons, like Catholics, believe that baptism is essential for salvation, but they do not perform baptisms on anyone younger than eight years old, because they believe that the person must be able to choose to be baptised or not.
In additon children that die before the age of 8, [the age of accountability] are saved as they are not accountable for any [sin] they may have done.

What is the difference between a Catholic and protestant baptism?
It's impossible to answer this question completely as there is no one form of protestant baptism: there are hundreds of different forms, depending on denomination.Some protestant denominations, for example Anglicanism/Episcopalianism and Lutheranism, practice infant baptism using formulas that are very similar to those used in the Catholic Church, but still not identical.To summarise: Catholic baptisms are conducted (usually, but not necessarily) on infants, using holy water and oil, by an ordained priest, with godparents, according to set Catholic liturgical formulas. Protestant baptisms are not.
Can a Protestant take a blessing during Mass in a Catholic Church?
During a Nuptial between a Catholic and non-Catholic, the Officiant [Priest or Deacon] blesses the couple. During the baptism of a child, the Officiant [Priest or Deacon] blesses the mother, father and godparents of the child as well as all assembled. If I can bless a car, why not a Protestant? My mother is Protestant! Rev. Robert J. Sweeney, www.holyrosary-ny.com

What is a difference between the baptism and the Christianity?
There are many differences between the two religions in general. While Christians celebrate the sacrament of baptism, pagans (very broad term) celebrate birth with a blessing. Christians believe God had placed original sin on his children and water from a church will erase that sin. Pagans (very broad term) may believe that with birth a blessing will give them a good start toward their future. They mainly believe this because they don't believe there is any sin to forgive in a newly born child.
