I was recently confirmed and conditionally baptised. I had some questions regarding validity.
The experience itself was somewhat of a blur (it was a lot to take in) so memory might be somewhat failing, but I don’t recall the priest including the conditional formula “In case you haven’t been baptised…” (or whatever it is) “…I baptise you in the name of etc. etc.” I believe only the standard latter part was used, not the full conditional statement. Does this matter?
Also, during the confirmation itself, I don’t recall Latin being used (“accipe signaculum doni Spiritus Sancti”) but rather just the english (“Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit”). I am ready to admit that here especially, memory might be failing, and it’s entirely possible I am mistaken. If this were the case, however, would that mean I was not validly confirmed?
Thank you all for your time.
