In any case, if there is any aspect of agreeing to Roman Catholic theology beyond "the basics", that's still cause for caution if someone isn't entirely comfortable with Roman Catholic theology. | |

This is a common error based on the similarity to the English word "confirm". On the contrary, Confirmation is the sacrament of the giving of the Holy Spirit, as the original apostles received Him on Pentecost, and as they gave the Holy Spirit to new believers (Acts 8:14-17). The etymology has to do with "strengthening". It is not about "confirming your belief". | |
