Unlike some protestant faiths, the Catholic Faith believes that Baptism is not just a way to join the Church, it is a Sacrament. Baptism changes you permanently by making you a child of God. The Church will not baptize you unless you are ready to believe what the Church teaches, and you have to be taught what those teachings are first.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, as the answer above indicates, Baptism changes a person ontologically - in their very substance, they are a different "thing" then they were before. They are now a child of God and have serious responsibilities. You do not have to know all of these responsibilities before hand, as in when an infant is baptised, but that baptism changes how you approach life, and how you will be judged. It is not just grace, but the responsibility to live up to that grace, to live the life that God has given you, in His great mercy.

Who made up the Catholic Religion?
The Catholic Church consists of all Christ's baptized who remain faithful. The saints in heaven are referred to as the Church Triumphant, those in purgatory are referred to as the Church Suffering, and those on earth are referred to as the Church Militant (or sometimes the Pilgrim Church). The Church has always believed in three types of Baptism, one of which, Baptism of Water, is the norm, while Baptism of Blood and Baptism of Desire may also bring people into the Church at the moment of death (See the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1257-1261). Baptism of Blood applies to those who died for the faith before being able to receive Baptism of Water. Baptism of Desire applies to those who would have desired Baptism had they known the Gospel. Those who do not remain faithful may be cut off from the Church through sin, which is known as excommunication, which may occur automatically or by judgment from the bishops of the Church. The purpose of excommunication is to make clear how grave some sins are so that those persons will return to the Church.
