Holy Saturday prompts us to recall that the simple rite of Baptism can be rendered null, if those baptising choose to disregard the proper administration of the rite.
All the more reason to avoid the innovators when seeking the sacraments. Avoiding also those ministers who are poorly catechised themselves and have received a less than adequate theological formation which would mean nearly all novus ordo formed ministers. This surely is a proximate matter of salvation/damnatiin otherwise the need for conditional baptism as a remedy wouldn't be necessary but merely an optional extra if one so desired. Knowing what the Church teaches concerning this sacrament and what it effects would it not be a grave error to suggest that it's necessity is relative. Even the CCC teaches that the. Church knows no other means by which a person can be incorpated into the Mystical Body of Christ absent sacramental baptism. God indeed in His mercy may have another means to sanctify the unbaptisef but this is not known by the Church.
Non-denominational prots routinely have the minister say the “form,” often with the invalid “We baptize…,” while the “godparent” performs the immersion, usually done in some sort of livestock trough. We should be conditionally baptizing protestants, for sure.

If you determine that your baptism was doubtful and you need to be conditionally baptized, do you also need to be conditionally confirmed?
