Baptism & Confirmation

[White Knight]

I know about infant baptism and confirmation, I also know theres a time difference between the two, so people get confirmed at age 18 or 20, others get confirmed after making a devoution and commit themselves to Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, at a later age.

Infants can get baptismed at that age whatever it may be, they grow up and fall away, yet come back and are more devouted than before, so they get confirmed. How long is this usually?


[b]Also if someone was never baptised yet chooses to get baptised at a certian like say he or she is 18 or in their early 20s some where. How long do they have to wait before they get confirmed?[/b]

This is from the Rite of Confirmation

11. Adult catechumens and children who are [b]baptised at an age when they are old enough for catechesis should ordinarily be admitted to confirmation and the eucharist at the same time they receive baptism[/b]. If this is impossible, they should receive confirmation in a common celebration (see no. 4). [b]Similarly, adults who were baptised in infancy should, after suitable preparation, receive confirmation and the eucharist in a common celebration. [/b]

With regard to children, in the Latin Church the administration of confirmation is generally postponed until about the seventh year.
