Which sacrament is, by Christ's own appointment, to be continued in His Church until the end of the world.

By applying the sign and seal to an adult, you are saying you believe they have been ingrafted into Christ, they are regenerated, they have remission of sins, etc., based on their profession. Am I correct so far? If so are you saying the same thing about an infant who is baptized?
