Do Catholics use their confirmation name in their baptismal name?
Your baptismal name is your birth name, as written on your birth certificate that your parents chose for you. For example: George Michael (last name). In Confirmation, you add a first name, to put after your birth name. The name is generally taken from a Saint's name, but does not have to be a saint name. So George Michael 'Timothy' (last name) might be the Confirmation name. By the way, except for Confirmation, this extra middle name is rarely used for any purpose.

One of the executor's responsibilities in probating a decedent's estate is that of gathering the decedent's assets. The executor must collect and inventory the decedent's assets that are subject to probate. Tasks involved in gathering the decedent's assets include reviewing records to identify all of the decedent's assets; determining which assets are subject to probate; taking physical custody of probate assets; valuing the assets; and filing an inventory listing with the probate court.
One of the most common assets owned by a decedent is an account at a bank or other financial institution, such as a credit union. The decedent may own a variety of different types of accounts held by a financial institution. For example, a decedent may own checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, or IRA (Individual Retirement Account) accounts to name a few of the more common types of accounts.
The Bank Confirmation Letter serves a couple of different functions. First, it allows the executor to verify the existence of accounts held by the financial institution. It also helps the executor determine the exact ownership of the accounts. If the account is held jointly with another individual, the account may or may not be subject to probate. Similarly, retirement accounts are not subject to probate. Therefore, it is important for the executor to be able to identify the types of accounts owned by the decedent and in whose name the accounts are held. This confirmation letter allows the executor to fulfill this duty.
Another of the executor's asset gathering responsibilities is valuing the decedent's assets as of the date of the decedent's death. Most bank accounts are generally valued at the face amount of the account because of the ability to immediately liquidate the account, such as with a checking or savings account. This confirmation letter allows the executor to value the accounts as of the date of the decedent's death, including interest accrued on the accounts as of the date of the decedent's death but not yet posted to the account by the financial institution.
The executor is also responsible for inventorying the decedent's assets. This confirmation letter allows the decedent to gather information for all of the accounts held by the financial institution where the letter is mailed. The executor may or may not have all information concerning accounts owned by the decedent. Even if the executor does not have information about all of the accounts owned by the decedent or the account numbers for all of the accounts, the executor can send this letter to financial institutions where the decedent may potentially have held accounts. This gives the executor the ability to locate assets or which the executor did not have prior knowledge.
Accounts at financial institutions continue to earn interest after the decedent's death. Such interest is income to the estate that the executor must report on the estate income tax return. The confirmation letter assists the executor in obtaining information about accounts owned by the decedent, which in turn become assets of the estate. The executor can then keep track of the assets of the estate that will produce income for the estate that must be included on the estate's income tax return.
What are some unusual saints names with hidden meanings for my confirmation?
The goal with picking a Confirmation name is not to be clever or creative with "hidden meanings", etc. Instead, you should pick based on a person's life who once had that name. For example, Luke was not an Apostle, yet he was a doctor, writer, and healer. He documented Christ's life. So you could pick Luke because you admire that he sought to record the stories of Christ and his works.
What do you say after the priest blesses you at confirmation?
From the Rite of Confirmation:The bishop and the priests who will administer the sacrament with him lay hands upon all the candidates (by extending their hands over them). The bishop alone sings or says:
All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by water and the Holy Spirit you freed your sons and daughters from sin
and gave them new life.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them to be their Helper and Guide.
Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of right judgment and courage,
the spirit of knowledge and reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.The Anointing of Chrism
“The anointing with chrism and the accompanying words express clearly the effect of the giving of the Holy Spirit. Signed with the perfumed oil, the baptized receive the indelible character, the seal of the Lord, together with the gift of the Holy Spirit that conforms them more closely to Christ and gives them the grace of spreading ‘the sweet odor of Christ’” (Introduction 9).
The deacon brings the Chrism to the bishop. Each candidate goes to the bishop, or the bishop may go to the individual candidates. The one who presented the candidate places his right hand on the latter’s shoulder and gives the candidate’s name to the bishop; or the candidate may give his own name.
Bishop: Dips his right thumb in the Chrism and makes the sign of the cross on the forehead of the one to be confirmed, as he says: “(Name), be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Newly confirmed: Amen.
Bishop: Peace be with you.
Newly confirmed: And also with you.

A conformation is when a child, usually around the ages 7-9, are recognised as Christians and a member of their parish. The child chooses a sponsor (this can be a relation or a friend of the family) who will go up with the child to the priest. they are given their baptismal candle and light it again, before the priest recites their baptismal promises, to which they will reply "I do". This is the Basis of a conformation. the child also chooses a conformation name, such as Mary, Simon etc. usually a saints name (For example, my conformation name is Bernadette) I hope this helped at all :)

As with all the sacraments, Confirmation was given to the Apostles by Our Blessed Lord, Himself. In the Letter to the Hebrews concerning Baptism and the Laying on of Hands, we see the first elements of Christian instruction in this Sacrament. Confirmation "completes" Baptism, as it were; it is the full coming of the Holy Spirit onto the Baptized person. The Eastern Churches call this Chrismation.

What are the conditions for receiving Confirmation worthily?
Regarding the obligation of receiving the sacrament, it is admitted that confirmation is not necessary as an indispensable means of salvation (necessitate medii). On the other hand, its reception is obligatory (necessitate præcepti) "for all those who are able to understand and fulfill the Commandments of God and of the Church. This is especially true of those who suffer persecution on account of their religion or are exposed to grievous temptations against faith or are in danger of death. The more serious the danger so much greater is the need of protecting oneself". (Conc. Plen. Balt. II, n. 250.) As to the gravity of the obligation, opinions differ, some theologians holding that an unconfirmed person would commit mortal sin if he refused the sacrament, others that the sin would be at most venial unless the refusal implied contempt for the sacrament. Apart, however, from such controversies the importance of confirmation as a means of grace is so obvious that no earnest Christian will neglect it, and in particular that Christian parents will not fail to see that their children are confirmed. Confirmation imparts * an increase of sanctifying grace which makes the recipient a "perfect Christian"; * a special sacramental grace consisting in the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost and notably in the strength and courage to confess boldly the name of Christ; * an indelible character by reason of which the sacrament cannot be received again by the same person. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04215b.htm

When did the Roman Catholic church make attendance at Sunday Mass compulsory?
The history of honoring Sunday with attendance at Mass and the receiving of the Holy Communion dates (in documents) as far back as the fourth century. Laws were passed to limit "servile work, that is working for another human, under Constantine, the first Christian Emperor of Rome. It is not Roman Catholic idea, rather an idea that dates to the time before the Church had coalesced around the imperial centers of Rome and Byzantium, and is therefore to be accepted as a universal Christian principle inherited by all Christians.
