Such a person is referred to as a "catechumen."
Yes, a person who has been baptized as a Catholic can also be baptized as a Christian. The Catholic Church recognizes the validity of baptisms performed in other Christian denominations.
This depends on the rules of the Church into which you switch. If a person is baptized in a Protestant Christian church, and switches to the Catholic Church, he does not have to be baptized again.
A candidate in the Catholic Church is someone in the process of becoming a member of the Catholic faith who has already been baptized in another Christian Church by means recognized by the Catholic Church (i.e. done in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit). A person converting who has not been previously baptized is known as a Catechumen.
If you were baptized in another church, you do not get baptized again. The Church recognizes the one baptism as valid.Roman Catholic AnswerYou may be baptized if the original baptism was not valid. You should check with the priest. If there is some question, they may baptize you conditionally, "if you are not already baptized, I baptize you in the Name of the Father..." as to attempt to "re-baptize" a person is very wrong.
A person who was baptized Catholic but no longer attends church services on a regular basis
Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.
No. According to the Catholic Church, a person can only be baptized once.
Yes it is - my son was! Speak to your local church in person
Yes, anyone, even an unbaptized person can baptize in emergencies. But if it is not an emergency then the child should be baptized in the Catholic Church. If the Church denies baptism, then it should not be done.
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, the role of the Catechist is to give instruction in Catholic doctrine, especially in mission lands, or among people who are not baptized or who are dechristianized. Since the Second Vatican Council it is used for all those trained to teach the faith in their parishes.
A person can only be baptized once so baptizing in both churches would be redundant. Generally, when a non-Catholic marries a Catholic they are required to affirm that any children must be raised as Catholics before the Church will allow them to marry. Therefore, if they were married in a Catholic church the children should be baptized in a Catholic church. If the parents were not married in a Catholic church, then they have another problem. They need to regularize their marriage to be in full communion with the Catholic Church. They must arrange to have their marriage blessed by the Catholic Church.
Only the Sacrament of Baptism, that is performed in another Christian Church, is recognized by the Catholic Church..Catholic AnswerThe only sacrament that can be given by anyone - even a non-baptized person - is baptism. Every other sacrament, including confirmation, requires a validly ordained priest, which can only be found in a Catholic Church, or in an Orthodox Church which has maintained valid orders. Someone outside the Catholic Church who has been validly baptized is considered a Christian, but any confirmation attempted outside the Church would be invalid.
