1298 When Confirmation is celebrated separately from Baptism, as is the case in the Roman Rite, the Liturgy of Confirmation begins with the renewal of baptismal promises and the profession of faith by the confirmands. This clearly shows that Confirmation follows Baptism. ¹¹¹ When adults are baptized, they immediately receive Confirmation and participate in the Eucharist. ¹¹²
