IV. Who can Receive Baptism?

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1248
The catechumenate, or formation of catechumens, aims at bringing their
conversion and faith to maturity, in response to the divine initiative and in
union with an ecclesial community. the catechumenate is to be “a formation
in the whole Christian life . . . during which the disciples will be joined to
Christ their teacher. the catechumens should be properly initiated into the
mystery of salvation and the practice of the evangelical virtues, and they
should be introduced into the life of faith, liturgy, and charity of the People
of God by successive sacred rites.”⁴⁷
