For Catholicism: Is it a sin to have recieved First communion and to get Confirmation, without being Baptized?

Question

It's funny How my first Communion went, I had only been going to the Catholic Church for a couple months, and I had my first confession right before Mass, and the Priest told me that if I wanted to recieve first Communion today at Mass, I could....(Without any teachings, or anything) And I got it =)

I am Baptized, I'm just curious =)

Thanks....

Answer 1

YES!! You have to be baptised first in order to join the Roman Catholic Church!

What you describe sounds really unorthodox. I guess the priest trusts you to learn all you can on your own, or go to the classes at the church. I hope you study hard, because as an adult other people look to you as an example, especially when you are a convert.
To answer the question, it's really unlikely that it would ever happen, because you have to show your baptismal certificate to receive any further sacraments. It just can't happen. If you couldn't produce such evidence, they might give you a conditional baptism ("If you are not baptised, I baptize you, etc.etc.") just to make sure.

Answer 3

you know i really dont think it is a sin. GOD and Christ would be happy, but the thing is that you truly believe that the bread and wine do become the become the BODY and BLOOD of Christ. Now many think that it just a something that you do as like praise but its not Jesus said eat this it is my body which will be given up for and then drink this it is my blood which will be given up for you. hard to think how is it possible but any thing is possible with the big guy upstairs. A major step to though is to be baptized because it shows everyone what you truly believe in.

Answer 4

i am not sure that it is a sin. but in my church you have to have taken the lord as your personal saviour to be able to take communion as it is a symbol of his body and blood

Answer 5

If you are not baptised you are not Catholic
