Getting into a Mikva is (from what I understand from movies) essentially the same as a baptism, although there is no preacher. Indeed, I believe the gentile practice is based on the Mikva.

It’s a solitary exercise by design.

There’s no question that the Jewish tradition of bathing for purification is the direct historical source of Christian baptism.

Specific practices and spiritual contents vary among Christian denominations.
