LOL, the "Vatican mandated formula" ?? Look it up: every traditional Christian church, at least until the 1960s, used the same "Vatican mandated" formula "N, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". Lutherans did, Anglicans did, Orthodox certainly still do, etc.

There's no such thing as a sacrament that is administered by a group ("we") to an individual. THe minister of a sacrament stands in the place of Christ. Christ is not a committee.

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. (1 Timothy 4:14)

That said, I have affirmed it should be "I baptize," but as explained in my post, I do not think that "we" must invalidate the baptism of "we baptized" minister and thus (on that basis as non-convert) all the acts belonging to that office. As in https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2020/09/why-the-words-of-baptism-matter.
