Definitions
Catechumens are unbaptized.
Candidates are those who have been baptized in a Christian tradition which baptizes "WITH THE POURING OF WATER AND IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT." Some traditions orchurches baptize with the SPRINKLING OF WATER AND MAYNOT USE THE TRINITARIAN FORMULA. We do not recognize these baptisms.
