1277 Baptism is birth into the new life in Christ. In accordance with the Lord's will, it is necessary for salvation, as is the Church herself, which we enter by Baptism.1415 Anyone who desires to receive Christ in Eucharistic communion must be in the state of grace. Anyone aware of having sinned mortally must not receive communion without having received absolution in the sacrament of penance.
1416 Communion with the Body and Blood of Christ increases the communicant's union with the Lord, forgives his venial sins, and preserves him from grave sins. Since receiving this sacrament strengthens the bonds of charity between the communicant and Christ, it also reinforces the unity of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ.
Well, that settles it. You answer FReepers by appealing to the CCC while others here appeal to the Holy Bible instead.
When an infant is baptized in the Catholic Church, that infant is then counted as Saved by the baptism. Is that correct according tot he catechism? ... And if that so baptized infant lives a sinful life thereafter, are they unsaved until they return to the full participation in Catholic sacraments, if they return? And if they do not return to the full sacraments of the Catholic church, are they bound for eternal damnation?
