Roman Catholic AnswerThe Baptismal Promises, which are made at Baptism, either by the individual, if of age, or his sponsors, if he is still a child are:

V. Do you reject Satan?

R. I do.

V. And all his works?

R. I do.

V. And all his empty promises?

R. I do.

V. Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth?

R. I do.

V. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary was crucified, died, and was buried, rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father?

R. I do.

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?

R. I do.

V. God, the all-powerful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and forgiven all our sins. May he also keep us faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever.

R. Amen.

We live these out by leading a truly Christian life each moment of each day. The first promises - to reject sin and Satan, obviously mean leading a life free of sin. No one can lead this perfectly on earth while we are living in a fallen body, but we do our best to do so and to go to confession regularly to express our sorrow for our falling and receive God's grace to help us not sin again.

To say that we believe in God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is to announce our decision to treat every single person that we meet from now on as we would treat Our Blessed Lord, Himself. They are Christ to us. We must pray, lead a virtuous life following the counsels as we are able, and performing the corporal works of mercy, all the time praying continuously, praising God and asking for His forgiveness when we fall, and for His help to do His work.
