....And yes, in the RCC, if you as an adult desire to come into the Catholic Church, you will be asked for at least a year, to do both studying and taking classes called the RCIA. Right during Lent, there are special rituals that take place to prepare a non-Catholic for either baptism at Holy Saturday Eve before Easter, full reception into the Church, or to finish up the initation sacraments if Catholic.

Okay, I have a question. If an infant can be baptized and receive full reception into the Roman Catholic Church, why does an adult have to go through classes for a year to be baptized and attain the same status?
