Prior to the conception of Mary, God saved her from orignal sin.
In the womb of his mother, John the Baptist, jumped for joy, when Mary with Jesus in her womb was first present, at the side of Elizabeth. At this time the John the Baptist was cleansed from original sin.
When Catholic parents have a child, just like God’s love for Mary, we too want to save our children, and through Baptism this gives each child the first step towards their salvation process.
As the child grows up and is raised in a good Christian home, once they have reached the age of reason, they will start their process to accept the Church’s teachings.
For us converts we go through RCIA which is for adults.
Baptism whether infant or adult, whether dunked or sprinkled is the first step in our salvation process, we are cleansed from our original sin. This is a neccessary Sacrament of our Church.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the sacrament that seals our Baptism, this is where we agree in the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.
Baptist actually in a way put these two together, instead of teaching baptism as a sacrament they teach it as a membership and an act of faith, as young adults that have hit the age of reason or older adults that are just joining their faith, they have already acknowledged their personal belief if the Trinity and the doctrine of faith.
For us Catholics we believe in baptism by water, baptism by blood, and baptism by desire.
As a convert, my baptism within the southern baptist church was considered valid with the Catholic Church, after a year of RCIA I was given the Sacrament of Confirmation, thus sealing my Baptism and joining the Church.
