pre-baptismal

Prior to baptism, the recipient is required to receive instruction in church beliefs, generally in the form of a pre-baptismal class.

One renounces the devil and all his works in many pre-baptismal liturgies (and in “The Godfather”).

As a result, we invite all parents to enter into our Pre-Baptismal formation session in order to give them the means by which they are able to be the teachers of faith to their children.

For example, a pure insufflation is apparently practiced in the Philippine Independent Church, and Spinks mentions a pre-baptismal ceremony used by the Christian Workers' Fellowship of Sri Lanka, in which the candidates are struck with a cane and their faces are breathed upon.

It teaches that anyone who is saved is saved through the Catholic Church but that people can be saved ex voto and by pre-baptismal martyrdom as well as when conditions of invincible ignorance are present, although invincible ignorance in itself is not a means of salvation.
