Can A Person Who Rejects The Faith Be Validly Baptized?

Source: vaticancatholic.com

In a recent discussion about whether faith in the recipient is required for a valid baptism, someone claimed: “A valid baptism presupposes that all elements have been met, for which the remission of sins has been given and that the supernatural faith, hope and charity have been infused at once.” That is not correct.

A valid baptism does not presuppose that all the elements for the remission of sins must be present or that faith, hope, and charity have been infused. That is only true when one does not place an obstacle in the way. But if one places an obstacle in the way – for example, by rejecting one or more dogmas of the faith – but still wants to be baptized of his or her own free will, then the baptism is valid (i.e. the person receives the baptismal character), but the person does not receive the remission of sins or the grace of the sacrament.
