What are the churches catholic accept their baptism?

All Catholic Church (structure) accepts baptism of any member of the Catholic Church (we, the people are the Church)..Catholic AnswerNot real sure what you're asking. The Catholic Church accepts any baptism done in any other Church as long as it is either done with immersion, or the water is poured on the forehead, along with the words, "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Ghost)," WITH the intention to do what the Church does when it baptizes. The person doing the baptism does not even have to be baptized themselves. The person pouring the water and saying the words must be the same person. It must be pure water, and it cannot just be sprinkled. It there is any doubt about the intention, the actual running of pure water, or the formula used, then the baptism will need to be repeated conditionally.
