Priests who hold a pastoral office (c 883,°2) have the faculty to Confirm: a) candidates baptized in another Christian church b) in the case of the readmission to communion of a baptized Catholic who has been apostate from the faith (National Statutes for the Catechumenate 28) (c) in the case of a baptized Catholic who has without fault been instructed in a non-Catholic religion or adhered to a non-Catholic religion (NS 28)
Priests need delegation to Confirm baptized, non-catechized adult Catholics and/or children of catechetical age who without their own fault never put their faith into practice. (NS 28)
