In many Protestant denominations, such as the Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Reformed and United Protestant Churches, confirmation is a rite that often includes a profession of faith by an already baptized person. Confirmation is required by Lutherans, Anglicans and other traditional Protestant denominations for full membership in the respective church. In Catholic theology, by contrast, it is the sacrament of baptism that confers membership, while "reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace". Both the Catholic and Methodist denominations teach that in Confirmation, the Holy Spirit strengthens a baptized individual for his/her faith journey.
