I'm sorry, but that is not completely accurate. The Church accepts a "valid" baptism -- to give the clearest example of what is NOT a valid Christian baptism, I give you the example of Mormon baptism. That is not a valid Christian baptism as they do not believe in the same idea of God as we do.
You are correct that most Evangelicals do not fit this group defined so well by Mormons and for those they would only need to be confirmed into The Church if they have a valid Trinitarian baptism. However, since there are so many different groups that call themselves Evanglical, I would not make a blanket statement about which have or have not a valid baptism.

What an odd post, just about any Evangelical Baptism that you and I can think of is of course accepted by the Catholic church and how did Mormons get in there?
Mormons are not Christian so of course the Catholic church has them be Baptized Christian, just like all the other Christian churches do.
