Priest yesterday was talking about the Catechumins for Easter.

Previously baptised doesn't get doused again.

They do have to go through the examination.

Do You Renounce Satan...et. al.

. . . well, you don't get doused again if your original baptism was in proper form.

LDS get re-baptised, and from what I understand the recent switch in certain Presbyterian and Episcopalian quarters to "Creator, Sanctifier, and Redeemer", "Mother, Child & Womb", or "Rock, Scissors, Paper" has caused problems.

Yeah. They have to provide plausible evidence of baptism with water and in the name of the Trinity. The person I'm sponsoring was Baptized in a Baptist Church which used a Trinitarian formula, so the language we're using is like "entering into the FULL communion" . To me that implies a pre-existing but partial or "imperfect" communion.
