I always thought that infant baptism was a covenant that the parents make to raise a child iin a Christian home. Confirmation is when the child accepts the baptism.

Well, Confirmation is the sacrament that formalizes it. But that's not to say a Catholic who is baptized as an infant yet never confirmed is not really baptized. I'm in that situation and am absolutely, positively baptized. Believe me, I accept my baptism.

It is one of the reasons why when each Lent ends, Catholics renew the promises made at their baptism.
