Catholic AnswerBaptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist, are the three Sacraments of Initiation which make one a member of the Church and a child of God. In the Eastern Rites of the Church they are all given at the same time shortly after birth, and in the Latin Rite they are still given together to adult converts.

Answer 3

At baptism, your parents make a promise to bring you up as a christian. they make this promise on behalf of you. At confirmation, you yourself are declaring that you want to be a christian and take on the responsibilities that christian life includes. You carry on the promise that your parents made.

Roman Catholic AnswerConfirmation, one of the three sacraments of initiation is intimately linked with Baptism as it completes your baptism. In the Easter rites of the Church, the three are still together and administered to infants: they are baptized, confirmed, and given First Holy Communion when they are infants; in the Western Rite they are still connected with adults, at the admission of catechumens at the Easter Vigil, they are baptized, confirmed, and given First Holy Communion.

Answer 4

Both Baptism and Confirmation are sacraments of initiation. At Baptism your Godparents answer the promises for you but at Confirmation you are now old enough to reply to the promises yourself. In other words, you are 'confirming' the answers made by your Godparents back when you were an infant.

Answer 5

Because you cannot be confirmed without being baptised.
