As far as I know, the Catholic Church does recognize the baptist baptism as valid, it being a Christian denominatiion that also uses the same formula of wording.

Roman Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowledge, any baptism which is performed with water that actually runs on the forehead, and uses the words, "I baptise you N in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) - or the same words in another language; with the intention of doing what the Church does - is considered a valid baptism.

If I have my child baptized in an Episcopal Church will the Catholic Church recognize this Will she be able to make her first communion when the time comes?

Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion. As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]


Can a confirmed Episcopalian convert to the Catholic Church without having to be confirmed again?

Yes. While the catholic church recognizes the Baptism as valid it does not recognize the Confirmation as valid, since it requires administration by a priest having received the valid sacrament of holy orders.
