Birth into the new life by which man becomes an adoptive son of the Father, a member of Christ, and a temple of the Holy Spirit. Incorporation into the Church, the body of Christ, and participation in the priesthood of Christ. The imprinting, on the soul, of an indelible spiritual sign, the character, which consecrates the baptized person for Christian worship. Because of this character, baptism cannot be repeated.
