IV. Who can Receive Baptism?
1253
Baptism is the sacrament of faith.54 But faith needs the community of
believers. It is only within the faith of the Church that each of the faithful
can believe. the faith required for Baptism is not a perfect and mature faith,
but a beginning that is called to develop. the catechumen or the godparent is
asked: “What do you ask of God’s Church?” the response is:
“Faith!”
