In the Catholic Church we call it the Sacrament of Confirmation. The rite calls for the congregation, under the auspices of a bishop, to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the candidates. They are received into adulthood in the Church. This usually takes place in the mid-teens after 2 years of instruction. It combines the Jewish idea of the rite of passage into adulthood called Bar/Bat Mitzvah with Christ's admonition that we must be born of water AND the Spirit.

Yes, a person receives the Holy Spirit during the Sacrament of Baptism. Paul said there is ONE baptism, not two.
Catholics receive the Holy Spirit whenever they participate in the sacraments - Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick - and at MANY MANY times in their lives.
God will sent His Holy Spirit whenever we ask.

you're at a loss for words. The holy spirit isn't evil, yet why adhere to the Catholic church? attempt the Pentecostals or a charismatic church. do you % the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the conversing in tongues which the 1st disciples won on the day of Pentecost? Why are you not honoring God and why are you blaming God? He enables us to be examined to work out if we fairly desire to have confidence him thoroughly. have confidence interior the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your guy or woman know-how. In all your approaches renowned him and he will direct your paths. Prov. 3:5-6 you're able to be able to desire to wish extra fervently and extra many times and compliment the Lord. have you ever been praising him? study Heb. 13:15, Romans 12:a million-2, John a million:33, Luke 3:sixteen, Acts a million:5, 8; 2:4; 11:sixteen; 19:4-6.

Yes, at Confirmation -- which is when those who were baptized with water and set apart for God reach the age of accountability. Having been taught (catechised) about what it means to be a Christian, it is when they make a public profession of faith and commit themselves to following Christ.
Which, if you think about it, is not so different from the experience of non-Catholic Christians. The order in which things are done may differ, but the result is the same.

Yes indeed it is called the sacraments of Baptism and also`Confirmation` which is performed by the local Bishop, and there is no need for Catholics to undergo the evangelical type of baptism in the spirit at all as in the Charismatic movement.

Prior to His ascension Jesus told His apostles, "Before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit." He added, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses" (Acts 1:5-8). The Apostles prayed for the coming of the Holy Spirit with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and a group of about one hundred and twenty. On Pentecost they were "baptized with the Holy Spirit" and were transformed into new creatures, bold witnesses for Christ.
Pentecost comes to each of us in the Sacraments of Initiation
Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. In Baptism we receive the Holy Spirit and become God’s children and members of the body of Christ. In Confirmation we receive a new fullness of the Spirit and are empowered to serve the Church and bear witness to Jesus.

I believe they do. It's usually the first sacrament Catholics undergo, unlike that of Evangelical Christians who have a choice whether they want to be baptized or not.
Bottom line, Catholics do get baptized. Basis? When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River!
