Catholics and mainline Protestants both do baptism by sprinkling some water on the baby\u2019s forehead, as far as I know. The only people who do full baptism by immersion are baptists and some evangelicals. It\u2019s been a pretty long time since baptism by immersion was done as the general procedure.

probably from catholic Confirmation

Huh. (I took first communion but was never confirmed)
