Question Does an adult get baptized when changing from Catholic to luthern religion? Can a godparent for a child be Catholic?
Answer Pat:
An adult converting from being Catholic to being Lutheran is not re-baptized. Lutherans recognize all Christian baptisms as being valid.
Usually, the only requirement for godparents is that they be Christian.
