When did Confirmation become separate from Baptism?
Roman Catholic AnswerThey have always been separate sacraments, although they were initially given during the same ceremony. Normally, baptism is administered by a priest, and confirmation is administered by a Bishop. In the West, with the growing number of infant baptisms during the year, and the impossibility of the Bishop being at all of them, gradually Confirmation was moved to a later period, after instruction in the faith. So that very early on, in the first couple centuries, Baptism and Confirmation became separated. In the East, the three sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, are still administered together to an infant.

So it would have been the anointing at the end of the initiation ceremony when the Apostles administered Confirmation.
