II. Baptism in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1226
From the very day of Pentecost the Church has celebrated and administered holy
Baptism. Indeed St. Peter declares to the crowd astounded by his preaching:
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.”²⁶ The apostles and their collaborators offer Baptism to
anyone who believed in Jesus: Jews, the God-fearing, pagans.²⁷ Always,
Baptism is seen as connected with faith: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and
you will be saved, you and your household,” St. Paul declared to his
jailer in Philippi. and the narrative continues, the jailer “was baptized
at once, with all his family.”²⁸
