The Rite of Christian Burial
Confirmation
"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: 'Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.'"
--Catechism of the Catholic Church,
paragraph 1213 (empasis added)

Baptism makes one a member of the body of Christ and incorporates one into the Church, sharing in its mission. The principal effects of Baptism are purification from sins and a new birth in the Holy Spirit. The Catholic Church baptizes all ages.

For infants the Church requires formation and catechesis for parents in preparation for the baptism of their children.

Adolescents and adults are prepared for Baptism through a process called the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation).
