If you were not confirmed, are you still catholic?

[Lapey]

Canon Law 1065 requires confirmation apart from ‘grave inconvenience’ - I presume grave inconvenience would be danger of death, or impossibility of finding a bishop or delegated priest to administer the sacrament.

This canon is being misused here. Remember the canon is going to always error to the side of the person, not the strictest interpretation of the law. In other words, rather than this canon mandating confirmation, it is emphatically recommending this be done. (Those words don’t quite express my point.)

It is not accurate to say a person cannot be married without confirmation, that is simply not so. It is recommended to be confirmed whether a person is getting married or not, the two sacraments are not dependant on each other. The sacrament of confirmation is the second of the initiation sacraments and is very important for the spiritual well being of a person and a marriage, but in no way an impediment to marriage in the Church.

Furthermore, none of the marriage prep documents request sacramental records in a way that prohibits marriage in the event there are one or more that are missing. This is an evangelization opportunity for the minister who prepares the couple, not an opportunity to send them to the justice of the peace or the local beach minister.
