The Canon says that there can be a Christian witness (in addition to a Confirmed Catholic godparent) for someone being baptized. Does this apply to me, an uncomfirmed Catholic (but will be Easter Vigil), as well? The deacon I asked says no.
 
phonemic,

This link has the canon law which covers who is eligible to fill the role of godparent or of Christian witness to a Catholic Baptism. The last point, canon 874 §2, should help you understand the deacon’s answer. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by this link, please contact Catholic Answers directly.
