Ir would seem tham many people do NOT realize that there is an imparting of the Holy Spirit to the child.

No there is not...There is no imparting of the Holy Spirit without repentance...You guys just make this stuff up...

It would appear that you do not know the ritual of Catholic baptism. The words said by the priest are "I baptize thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

The child is then annointed with the Chrism of Salvation used in only three sacraments -- Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders That mark of Baptism and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will be with the child forever.

That's why we as Catholics can say to anyone who was baptized in the Catholic Church that they are still a Catholic. The Holy Spirit is still there, perhaps the person has rejected the Catholic faith momentarily, but they will be back. One flock and one shepard.

You also talked about repentance. The godparents and parents announce for the child that they reject Satan and believe in the precepts stated in the Nicene Creed.

You guys just make this stuff up...

No, we Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists etc.) do not make up stuff.

We believe in a Triune God, and that Jesus Christ is God. So whatever "you guys" want to believe in, whether Christ is just a prophet second to whatever "prophet" y guys follow, that's this minute cult's problem.
