I was baptized before I was a month old, as is the traditional with Catholics who are born into the church. Since I'm converting to Episcopal Church I'm not having to be baptized again since the Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist denominations all accept baptisms from other denominations in that group as valid. And since the Episcopal Church also recognizes Catholic confirmation I'll be received later this year rather than be confirmed into the church.
