    "Baptism constitutes the foundation of communion among all Christians, including those who are not yet in full communion with the Catholic Church: “For men who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in some, though imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church. Justified by faith in Baptism, [they] are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers by the children of the Catholic Church. Baptism therefore constitutes the sacramental bond of unity existing among all who through it are reborn.” Catechism of the Catholic Church

      SACRAMENTS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

      Sacraments date back to the time of Jesus Christ. They were started or instituted by Christ during His public life on earth, as the Son of God. The thought likely, behind the entire set of sacraments, was to give help or Divine Grace to His Apostles, and to all who decided to follow His teachings.

      So at the time, Jesus gave His Apostles and to His Church, the seven sacraments and explained how they were to be administered by the Apostles and their successors, to the faithful.

      The Sacraments of Christian Initiation

      "The sacraments of Christian initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist - lay the foundations of every Christian life. The sharing in the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. The
