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.

Can a child who is baptised Catholic be converted to Coptic Orthodox?

People can be converted to whatever they want.Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are baptized Catholic, then you are bound by the laws of the Catholic Church. This is one of the reasons that, outside of a danger of death, a priest will not baptize an infant without assurance that the child will be raised in the faith. For a Catholic go "convert" to some other religion, including Coptic Orthodox, is known as apostasy and is very serious with respect to their eternal salvation. You would have to check with a priest, the technical term for converting to an Orthodox faith might be schism instead of apostasy. Anyway, it would be a serious sin.

Can Catholic marry an Orthodox in the Catholic Church?

Yes, it is his/her free choice to select the faith that me/she is convinced in. It is one of human rights to believe in the faith that he/she is convinced in..Catholic AnswerTechnically, the Orthodox religion is in schism with the Catholic Church, so, although this would not be apostasy (which is giving up the Christian faith altogether), it will still be giving up the fullness of the Christian faith in union with the Pope. However, there is no need to do this, when the Orthodox left the Church, each Rite broke in two, thus there is a Uniate Rite for each Orthodox Church. Thus the Greek Uniate Church is still in communion with Rome, and a person may obtain permission to change their Rite or they may just attend Mass at another Rite.

Are you considered Catholic if you are a Greek Orthodox?

A:You are what you wish to be. Your own personal religious beliefs can only be decided by you, so you could choose to be Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, or indeed not hold any religious commitment at all. It is entirely up to you..Catholic AnswerYou follow the rite of either parent, most likely the rite in which you were baptized. However, the Orthodox Churches are not technically separate rites, they are in schism. If you mother is Catholic, and you were baptized in the Catholic Church, then you follow whatever rite that she is. If you baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church, your baptism is valid, but you need to convert, so you need to speak with a priest.
