Faith is both a gift from God and man’s response to God by believing in Him, the truth He has made known to us, and the way of living we are invited to by the Church.
Creed
:
A creed is a statement of belief. As Catholics, we profess our faith in the Trinity and what the Church believes and teaches when we pray the Nicene Creed or Apostles’ Creed.
Baptism
:
Baptism is the first Sacrament of Initiation. It makes us members of the Church, forgives sins (including Original Sin), and gives us new life in Christ. It is necessary for salvation.
