I’ll explain; but don’t blame me if you are offended, it is the Catholic response. Protestanism grew out of dissension with the Catholic Church. If Protestants baptize “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost with the INTENTION (emphasis mine) of performing what the Church performs”, it is true Baptism. (Council of Trent) The intention must be present to be a sacrament.

I am NOT opposed to conversions and acceptance of Catholic doctrines and teaching. I DO oppose reaching “across the aisle”, so to speak, and letting the dissent stand.

Nope, not offended, just that acknowledgement that Presbyterians follow the Trinitarian baptism is not “principles mean nothing; go-along-to-get-along”
