18 - Baptism

Crash Course Catholicism

Do we have to be baptised to go to heaven? What if you're a good person who's never heard of Jesus? Is baptism in a Protestant church valid?
In this episode we discuss the first of the three sacraments of initiation (baptism, confirmation, and communion).
This episode covers Part Two, Section Two, Chapter One, Article One of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 1210-1284).
