He would not be absolved of original sin.

Roman Catholic AnswerNot sure what you're asking, if you are asking what he would be missing if he wasn't baptized at all, then, indeed, he would not be absolved or original sin. If you are asking about baptism specifically in the Catholic Church, then the question is more complicated. By baptizing an infant you are taking on the responsbility of raising them as a Christian, you are also giving them some responsibilities: to live by the Commandments and the Corporal Works of Mercy, in other words to live as a Christian. If you son is not baptized in the Church, the first thing you would have to worry about is if he is validly baptized. Some protestant churches do have a valid baptism, but not all. The second thing you have to worry about is the other sacraments, if he is not baptized in the Catholic Church, then he is ineligible to receive the other sacraments, and thus is deprived of the normal means for God has of communicating the grace to grow in the Christian life and be saved.

You are baptised as a Christian. Despite what many think, baptism (in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is a Christian sacrament and not a denominational one. That is to say, if you are baptised then you are baptised a Christian and not a Catholic, Anglican, Methodist or even a Baptist.

If you were baptised in the congregational church and want to convert to the catholic religion do you have to be baptised again?

In general, the Catholic Church recognizes baptisms from other Christian denominations, including the Congregational Church, as valid as long as they were performed with water and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Therefore, you would not need to be baptized again to convert to Catholicism. However, you may be required to participate in a formal reception into the Catholic Church, such as through the sacrament of Confirmation. It is advisable to consult with a priest or the local parish for guidance on the specific steps required for your conversion.


Do people who have been baptised Roman Catholic have to be re-baptised Greek Orthodox if they convert?

Despite what some will tell you, to be baptised is to be baptised a Christian and not a Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Orthodox or any other denomination. Provided the baptism is done in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as commanded by our Lord at the end of Matthew's gospel, then, the baptism is valid whatever denomination. There are some hard-liners that will argue that you are baptised a Catholic only, or an Orthodox only, or unless the baptism is done by full immersion it is somehow not 'valid'. However, the key factor in baptism is the content of someone's heart (either directly or by proxy as in the case of godparents in infant baptism) and not by some man-made denomination system. So a baptism as a member of the Christian Church worldwide, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is all that is required in the sight of God.

Anyone can administer this sacrament in an emergency - even a non-baptized person. Thus, Anglican baptism is exactly the same baptism anyone else would receive, and such a person can be confirmed in the Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and making a profession of faith.
