Baptism is the basis for the Christian life. A person who is baptized receives
is the door that opens a person to the other sacraments. Through Baptism
the individual is freed from original sin and reborn as a child of God.

A person who is baptized becomes a member of Christ and His Church; one
become becomes a  member of the Mystical Body of Christ (the Catholic
Church). A baptized person then shares in Christ’s mission on earth.             

The Church has seven sacraments, before any of the other six sacraments
can be received, one must be baptized.
