While the Catholics accept Baptist baptisms, it’s not necessarily the other way around. This is because of the Baptist doctrine of adult baptism. In theory, the Catholic rite of confirmation is the equivalent of Baptist baptism. Conversely, while Baptists don’t have a sacrament of infant baptism, Baptist churches usually have some kind of ceremony in which the parents pledge to raise the child in the faith and the congregation pledges to help them do so. Jews, analogously, have infant circumcision (dedication to God) and adult bar mitzah (acceptance of the law).
IMHO Jesus was circumcised dedicated on his eighth day, and baptized as an adult, so, that should be the way it is for us.

Baptists don't always accept other baptist immersings. But, they're usually quite cool with doing it over, as many times as necessary.

The curious baptist rite of baby dedication. "Samuel was dedicated." "Ok. So?"
“This is because of the Baptist doctrine of adult baptism.”
I think that is more correctly called BELIEVERS’ baptism. Some of those who are baptised are children who are old enough to understand and accept the Gospel, but could, for instance be aged as low as 7 or 8, ie definitely not adults.
