Hi, guys —

  • If my grandson is baptized Methodist, can he then make a Catholic First Communion and Confirmation?
  • Or, would he have to be baptized Catholic to start with?

Eric replied:

Laure,

He would probably not have to be re-baptized, but he would have to receive instruction and be received formally into the Catholic Church.

Much of the answer to your question depends on specific circumstances, so you'd have to consult your pastor for details.
