Baptism is the first of the Sacraments of Initiation and the beginning and foundation of Christian sacramental life; it is the door which gives access to the other sacraments. The baptized is made a participant in the divine life of the Trinity through sanctifying grace and is incorporated into Christ and his Church. Baptism provides the basis of communion with all Christians.
