    Yeah. If you go through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), you get baptized, given communion, and get confirmed all at the same time on Easter. Having a sponsor is part of the sacrament of confirmation.

    At least that’s the way my church growing up did it. I’m sure there are exceptions for extenuating circumstances and differences across countries.

      That how it was and still is. Grew up Catholic. Have a best friend who sponsored his significant other to convert. This was the exact process.
